Ex-Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar said India head coach Gautam Gambhir "fought with everyone" to get Sanju Samson into T20 World Cup team. "Samson's selection has been done forcefully and after lot of scrutiny," he added. Akhtar highlighted that there was lot of hype surrounding Samson around 2015 but he couldn't get regular chances as India had wicketkeepers like MS Dhoni.
