Sanju Samson played one of the greatest innings of his career against the West Indies in the last Super 8 match of India on Sunday night to take the team to the semi-finals of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. He played the unbeaten inning of 97 runs off just 50 balls, and now Jofra Archer’s old tweet from 2014 is going viral on the internet, connecting with Sanju’s inning.
Jofra Archer’s 12-Year-Old Tweet Goes Viral After Sanju Samson’s Unbeaten 97 in IND vs WI Super 8 Clash
Jofra Archer is famous for his old tweets that strangely “predict” future events, especially in cricket. In recent years, fans have discovered his old tweets matched the real-life incidents, such as injuries to players, exact score predictions of some players, major cricket events, match-winning moments, and any random incidents related to cricket.
Now another of his tweets is going viral after Sanju Samson’s unbeaten 97-run inning against the West Indies, where he tweeted just “97? WTF."
If we say it honestly, only Jofra Archer can give the context behind this tweet, but the fans are connecting it to Sanju’s innings. Notably, Jofra and Sanju played a lot of cricket together at the Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
However, both players will be separated in the IPL 2026 season, as the Rajasthan Royals traded Sanju Samson to the Chennai Super Kings before the mega auction, and Jofra remains at the RR.
Sanju Samson’s unbeaten 97-run innings off just 50 balls, including 12 fours and 4 sixes, guided India to a 5-wicket win over West Indies at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata to qualify for the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2026. Sanju was also named player of the match for his match-winning inning. This inning becomes even more special when you see Sanju’s recent one-month performance. He was not part of the starting XI of Team India, but he returned to the squad and played the most important inning as of now in the Youth World Cup for India.
