Sanju Samson was a man with a golden heart who fulfilled his commitment to a child with special needs upon his return to Kerala. Samson fulfilled the boy’s wish to meet the Indian cricket player, and he delivered when the batter not only saw him but also engaged in a game of cricket. When the young fan’s video of Samson batting was posted on social media, it received praise and well wishes from people all over the nation for Sanju.

Samson was among the eleven athletes included in Grade C of the BCCI’s central contracts list, which entails an annual salary of ₹1 crore. Although Samson has been a part of Team India’s preparations for a while, his inconsistent play presented a big obstacle. He was thus left out of India’s World Cup rosters for the 2022 T20 World Cup and the 2023 ODI World Cup. Samson’s performance at the 2024 Indian Premier League has even more significance as the path for the T20 World Cup is about to begin, with the squad expected to be revealed by May 1.
