The Instagram story by Samson read ‘’Just wanted to reach out and convey my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you who showed love, support, and kept me in your prayers. Seeing and experiencing so much love coming my way truly means a lot.” His Instagram story just shows what a humble player Samson is and that he notices the love he has been getting over the last few days.
He ended the story by saying ‘’Just want to say - Thank you all, two more steps to go’’ The last two sentences where he said two more steps to go shows that he is focused on doing well in the upcoming semi-final and hopefully the final. The talk of the town in the last few days has been Sanju Samson and by his own admission it was his best ever day in his cricketing career.
Sanju Samson has one of the biggest fan bases in India, especially in Kerala and now in Tamil Nadu. During the game against Zimbabwe, when Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav told that Samson was playing there was a huge roar from the fans. So, it is clear that he enjoys good support. In the recent game against South Africa in Thiruvananthapuram, Samson was treated like a VIP outside the airport as fans rushed in to witness their star. India will hope Samson can step up and do it again in Mumbai when India takes on England.
