India's star cricketer, Sanju Samson is a man with a golden heart, who fulfilled his commitment to kids with disabilities on his return to Kerala. Notably, the middle-order batter fulfilled the boy's wish to meet India's player, and not only met him but also played a game of cricket.

The video of Sanju Samson batting was posted on social media and received praise and well-wishes from people all over the world. 

Meanwhile, Sanju Samson has joined the Rajasthan Royals camp ahead of the start of the 2024 Indian Premier League. Samson has not participated in any first-class cricket games since playing for Kerala in the Ranji Trophy last month. However, the middle-order batter amassed one half-century from five innings before Kerela got out of the Ranji Trophy in 2024.

In addition, the 29-year-old cricketer had scored a duck in his single T20I match against Afghanistan earlier. However, the star cricketer made his first century for Team India, scoring 108 in the third ODI against South Africa, which India won by 78 runs and helped India win the series by 2-1.

There's a different equation with everyone in the team: Sanju Samson

Meanwhile, Sanju Samson has recently opened up about his teammates and what Jos Buttler, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Shimron Hetmyer mean to him in the IPL camp. The 29-year-old cricketer also shows his excitement ahead of IPL 2024.

"There's a different equation with everyone in the team. With Jos [Buttler], there is like an elder brother kind of relationship, same is the case with Ash [Ashwin] bhai. With Hetty, [Shimron Hetmyer], he's like a friend. I am very fortunate to have some very good connections in our own team. Once you are on the ground, everyone is equal. When you treat them the way they should be treated, everything becomes very normal," Sanju Samson said in the show 'IPL Heroes' on Star Sports.
