Samson says competition with Sooryavanshi remains healthy within team

Sanju Samson said the competition for places in India's T20I team must remain healthy within the dressing room rather than creating internal tension. He acknowledged that external noise affects players but emphasised focusing on personal performance.

Samson scored 57 off 22 balls in the second T20I against Afghanistan and said India's approach of maximising powerplay scoring has been successful. He noted that difficult selection decisions are part of maintaining a world champion team and credited the leadership group for clear communication.

Samson said all players are competitors for the outside world but remain a team playing for the country. He emphasised that the priority is winning games first before individual considerations come into play.
