‘Good PR stunt but still team mein jagah nahin milegi’ – Fans react as school students spotted wearing Sanju Samson’s masks during World Cup trophy tour

Wicketkeeper batter Sanju Samson will be playing in the ODIs and T20Is against West Indies. Currently, the Indian team is playing the two-match Test series. Meanwhile, India will host the ODI World Cup in October-November this year. The Apex Council has been conducting a trophy across the globe around the world. The tour reached a school in India.

During the tour, some kids were spotted wearing Samson’s masks. This shows the craze among the fans despite him not being a regular member of the team. The right-hander will like to do well in the three-match ODI series to raise his case to be selected for the World Cup

I don't get it till now why the heck is Sanju so famous? What he did? Less than 40 avg in FC? Not so great in IPL? Not a clutch player? What's special in him?
