Sanju Samson: Upcoming Superstar of Cricket
- Sanju Samson was a member of the 2012 Kolkata Knight Riders team but that year, he didn’t play a single match in that season. Later in auction, he was signed by Rajasthan Royals in 2013. When Rajasthan Royal's regular wicketkeeper injured then gates were opened for Sanju to prove his metal. Sanju Samson took the opportunity came to his way and performed well and won the best young player award in that season. He was retained by RR for 2014 & 2015. In the 2016 auction, he was signed by Delhi Capitals formerly known as Delhi Daredevil. By playing for Delhi, he scored his IPL careers in the first century against Rising Pune Supergiant. Later in the 2018 IPL auction, he was again signed by RR and still play for them.

- Sanju Samson has been selected for Indian Team several times as a wicketkeeper. When he was selected first time for bilateral series against England for ODI but couldn’t make it to India’s Playing Eleven in any match of that series. This thing repeated several times, finally, we got his due chance to play for India was against Zimbabwe in 2015. He was also selected for the T-20 series against Bangladesh in October 2019 and again in November 2019 against West Indies.
- I Hope Sanju Samson will end this IPL season on a high note so that he will get selected for Indian Squad again and we are hopeful that this time he will get a chance to play for India.
