With Sanju Samson impressing against South Africa with his maiden international hundred, he decided to try his luck on the football pitch where he was spotted playing along with local kids in India.

The video for Samson fully involved in the match is doing the rounds on the internet with fans getting to see their cricketer in a football kit for the first time.

Sanju Samson powered India to a formidable total of 296 runs against South Africa in the decisive third ODI at Paarl by smashing an impressive 108 runs from just 114 balls. Despite India stumbling to 49-2 initially, Samson, alongside KL Rahul and Tilak Varma, orchestrated a crucial partnership that led to India’s recovery. His innings, which comprised six boundaries and three sixes, not only marked his inaugural ODI century but also laid the groundwork for India’s commanding 78-run victory, clinching the series triumph at Boland Park.

The exceptionally talented batsman from Kerala will soon make a return to competitive cricket during the upcoming IPL 2024 season. In November 2023, Samson was retained by the Rajasthan Royals franchise, and during the IPL 2024 auction held in the UAE in December, the team management augmented the squad by making additional player acquisitions.

A Shift Towards BJP's Aggressive Hindutva Amid Opposition's Leadership Crisis

The Maharashtra election may further push the Congress down as it has lost the election at a time when it needed a win most desperately. Though the Congress succeeded in pushing the BJP to a corner and stopping it at less than a majority on its own, it failed to make any headway further.
