Sanju Samson has established himself as one of the finest captains in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for Rajasthan Royals and has even guided the inaugural IPL champions to a runners-up finish in 2022. There's not a single doubt of his calibre as a batsman and has gained a huge fanbase as one of India's top wicket-keepers. But apart from his on-field prowess, he is also known for his kind nature, which has been brought to light by his Rajasthan Royals teammate, Sandeep Sharma. Sharma, who previously played for franchises like Punjab Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad in the past went unsold in the IPL 2023 auction. This is the time, when 'Sanju Baba' as he is fondly called by Sandeep called the pacer up and injected confidence. Samson was the only guy to call him during his tough time and assured that he would get his chance in the cash-rich league. “I got a call from Sanju, he talked to me. He told me a lot of positive things. He explained how me going unsold also made him feel bad personally. He believed in me and told me that I would get a chance that season'', Sandeep told Taruwar Kohli, India's 2008 U-19 World Champion in his podcast Find A Way With Taruwar Kohli.
This is Sanju Samson for you 🔥
a pure hearted person ❤️ #SanjuSamson
