Suryakumar Yadav shows Sanju Samson's picture to loyal fans

Suryakumar Yadav took out his phone and showed the image of Sanju Samson to the fans gathered around the team bus in Thiruvananthapuram.

Sanju Samson is currently captaining India’s A team in their match against New Zealand in Chennai. He is not even in India’s T20 World Cup squad for the South Africa series, but his fan base in his home state is unrivalled.

The Indian cricket team arrived in Thiruvananthapuram on Monday ahead of the first T20 international match against South Africa on Tuesday. Fans chanted the name of local hero Sanju Samson, who is not even on the team.

See the video here.

Suryakumar Yadav, India’s middle-order batter, took out his phone and showed the fans standing near the bus a picture of Sanju Samson. He first pointed to it and then gave it a thumbs up.

The wicket-keeper batsman was tagged in the Instagram stories of India spinner R Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal as they shared images of fans cheering for the team at the airport.

The Kerala cricketer, who rose to fame as a youth and subsequently made his international debut in a T20I match against Zimbabwe here in 2015, has so far only played in seven ODIs and 16 T20Is.

During the team’s recent trip of Zimbabwe, the West Indies, and Ireland, Samson finally received opportunities in the reserve lineup. When the Asia Cup starts in the UAE, Rishabh Pant, a frequent keeper-batter, will replace him.

Samson concluded the IPL-2022 among the top-10 run scorers with 458 runs from 17 games.

Ravichandran Ashwin Announces Retirement from International Cricket

Ravichandran Ashwin’s, one of India’s greatest cricketers, has retired from international cricket. He ended a stellar career as the nation’s second-highest wicket-taker in Test history. Ashwin, known for his exceptional spinner skills and vital contributions with the bat, leaves behind a legacy that will inspire generations of cricketers.

The 37-year-old debuted in 2011 and quickly became a pivotal figure in Indian cricket. Over the years, Ravichandran Ashwin’s amassed an impressive 489 Test wickets, second only to Anil Kumble in India’s all-time rankings. His ability to adapt to different conditions and outsmart some of the best batsmen in the world earned him accolades across all formats.

Ashwin’s retirement marks the end of an era in Indian cricket. His sharp mind and innovative bowling strategies often made the difference in crucial matches, particularly in Tests. Besides his bowling prowess, Ashwin contributed significantly as a lower-order batsman, scoring five Test centuries.

“This will be my last day as an Indian cricket in all formats of the game at the international level. I do feel there is a bit of punch left in me in a cricketer. I would like to showcase that in club-level cricket. So this will be my last day. I have had a lot of fun. I must say I’ve created a lot of memories alongside Rohitt and several of my teammates,” Ashwin said at the press conference.

“Obviously, there are a lot of people to thank. But, I would be failing in my duty if I didn’t thank the BCCI and the rest of my teammates. I want to name a few of them and all the coaches — Rohit, Virat, Ajinkya, and Pujara who have taken all those catches in the slips to help me get those wickets.”

Ashwin also thanked the Australian cricket team for being fierce competitors over the years.

“Also a big thank you to the Australian cricket team. They have been very fierce competitors. I have enjoyed playing alongside them.

“I won’t be taking any questions, but certainly, it’s a very emotional moment.”

Speculation about his retirement was rife after he was seen hugging former captain Virat Kohli in the dressing room at Gabba during a rain interruption on Wednesday. Ashwin and Kohli had an intense chat in the dressing room, leading to rumors on social media.

Ashwin ensured the rumors did not stay for long as he confirmed the call right after the third Test ended in a draw.

With the ICC World Test Championship qualification at stake, this match plays a pivotal role in deciding India’s pathway to the final. Rain interruptions have hindered Australia’s push to enforce the follow-on, giving India a potential lifeline.
