Sanju Samson’s name was discussed extensively prior to the selection of the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup in Australia. However, the talented wicketkeeper batter didn’t make it to the squad. With less than a month to go before the 2022 T20 World Cup, the Indian cricket team has entered the final stages of preparation. Starting Wednesday, the Rohit Sharma-led side will play its last series ahead of the big event in Australia. India’s three-match match against South Africa starts in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala – Samson’s home state. While he is not part of the Indian squad for the South Africa series, his fan following was evident from a recent video that has gone viral on social media.
The video shows batter Suryakumar Yadav showing fans a photo of Sanju Samson sitting on the team bus. The crowd then went crazy at the sight of Samson’s photo.
