Despite his recent success, the veteran batter was willing to step aside to accommodate Sooryavanshi, underlining the team's collective approach. The India opener further explained that Samson's recent performances could have made the decision more difficult, particularly given the innings he had played in the previous two matches.
"Sanju bhai ji ne jaise last do match mein innings kheli hai, usse pehle bhi jo karte aa rahe hain, I feel kisi ke liye bhi aisa hota hai ki, 'Yaar, someone is going at his position,'" Abhishek added.
