Special player. Special talent. There is a reason he should be in your T20 team everyday. So happy that it is all coming together for #SanjuSamson. You get landmarks when you don’t play for them. #Back2BackT20Centuries.

No better sight, and result seeing Sanju Samson bat the way he has been of late. Maybe he competes with Pant for โkeepers slot in T20s but if heโs given the confidence his impact as a batsman is multifold; not just T20s, Sanju is a fine ODI batsman as well #IndvsSA #T20

Even Sanju Samson’s heart touching divine shots is failing to distract me from that purple, blue, light blue, yellow and green color combination in scorecard.
