A man with golden heart, Sanju Samson kept the promise he made to a specially-abled kid on his return to Kerala.
Samson had guaranteed to fulfil the boy’s dream of meeting the India cricketer, and he came good on it when the batter not only met him but also played a game of cricket.
The video of Samson batting as the young fan bowled to him was uploaded on social media, earning Sanju compliments and wishes from all parts of the country.
Samson has joined the Rajasthan Royals camp ahead of the IPL 2023, where they start their season against Lucknow Super Giants on March 24. Samson hasn’t played competitive cricket since last month, when he turned up for Kerala in the Ranji Trophy.
He scored one half-century from five innings before Kerala was knocked out. Prior to it, Samson scored a duck in the only T20I he played against Afghanistan. In December though, he had scored his maiden international century – 108 in the 3rd ODI against South Africa which India won by 78 runs.
