Sanju Samson had an excellent outing for India in the recent South Africa ODI series, where he hammered his maiden ODI ton in the third and final match to help India win the series 2-1.
In the third ODI against South Africa, Samson made 108 off 114 balls, smashing six fours and three sixes, as India posted a total of 296/8 after being invited to bat. The knock came as a huge relief for Samson, who has not been able to cement his place in the team, despite boasting an average of over 50 in the format.
Selectors preferred Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav over Sanju Samson for the recent World Cup 2023. Samson revealed that the past three-four months have been mentally challenging for him but he kept at it by working on himself and bounced back by scoring his maiden ODI ton.
Meanwhile, hailing from Kerala, Samson calls himself an avid football fan and revealed that his father was a footballer, and played for the Delhi Police Football Team.
Samson was seen showcasing his on-the-ball dribbling skills for Trivandrum in a local sevens tournament.
