🚨 Abhishek Sharma’s father reveals Sanju Samson supported him during tough times 🚨
Abhishek's Father said: “Whenever I met Sanju, I used to ask him, “Sanju bhai, what happened to Abhishek?”
He would always say, “Uncle, don’t worry. He is a very big player. He won’t just play, he will dominate. In the coming time, he will win matches for India.”
So I told him, “Thank you, Sanju. The way you speak with so much belief and affection, I’m a fan of yours.”
He replied, “No, no paaji, it’s not like that.”
But you can clearly see the confidence he has in him. He is a very big player, players like him are rare. And whenever he gets the chance, he has already shown you his class.” [News Nation]

KL Rahul was the only one who called up Sanju Samson for a hug before the felicitation 🙇

SURYAKUMAR YADAV ON SANJU SAMSON: [Devendra Pandey]
"He scored 97, 89, 89 in the big games. If he wanted, he could have easily scored hundreds in all three, he was playing that fast but if you take 10 balls to go from 89 to 100 when you could do it in three or four, you’re stealing six balls from the second batter - Dube scored 28 off six balls, 26 off eight. That was only possible because Sanju didn’t chase his hundred"
"Rajasthan Royals gave my son everything. He was treated like a King there, except that they didn't put a crown on his head. But as time passed by, my son realised that Yashasvi Jaiswal and Riyan Parag had desire to captain RR. My son came and spoke to me that it's time for us to wind up here. He said, both are talented players and Riyan had already captained for Assam while Jaiswal is desperate for captaining in Mumbai. So then he felt it's better to move on from the franchise before it's too late. While we took this decision, there were offers from different franchises like Delhi Capitals, Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders, etc. and Chennai Super Kings was actually not in the picture at the beginning. But now everything has fallen in place and my son is playing for CSK."

It was Sanju Samson's inclusion after which India made it to the semi-final & won the Final one-sides, before Sanju Samson India was struggling for semi-final place.
How many players has scored 3 80+ in must win games back to back in order to win the world cup, Samson did it all in just 5 games. He deserved the POTT as well as POTM in Final. Now, shut up we all know how you guys has supported Pant & others over Samson all these years & now it is hard to digest what Samson has achieved!!
I was watching an old interview where Sanju mentioned that his father took early retirement from his job and moved back to Kerala from Delhi because he felt the competition in Delhi was very high. He believed Sanju would get better opportunities in Kerala. A lot of sacrifices have been made by him and his family to reach where he is today. Well played Sanju thoroughly deserved the Player of the Tournament award.🫡
Bro is the prime reason why the entire nation is celebrating now but while others were enjoying all the spotlights, Sanju Samson preferred to be in tranquility.
