The Times of India Headline Is Published; full text not present in the item
Confirmed: the item in the context carries the full title including the names Shoaib Akhtar and Gautam Gambhir and the reference to Sanju Samson. The contextual record also confirms that TOI Sports Desk positions itself as providing comprehensive updates across multiple sports, with match reports, previews, reviews and statistics-based technical analysis. The headline itself is a published line in that record; the body text that would explain the headline is not included in the contextual excerpt.
Sanju Samson Is Named in the Headline; the alleged claim is unconfirmed

The Times of India article text or an official Shoaib Akhtar statement will resolve the record
