“Good Shot Bhaiya” Acclaims Kid As Sanju Samson Enjoys Pickleball
Indian wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson was spotted enjoying his time off playing pickleball with UAE cricketer Chirag Suri. Their fun session as a pair gained attention on social media, which also showcased their skills outside of the cricket field.
Samson and Suri participated in a friendly and fun pickleball game demonstrating great teamwork and sportsmanship. Suri shared the match on his official Instagram handle, highlighting the moment when Sanju Samson won a point followed by a celebration. This video didn’t take much time to attract significant online engagement, especially among the fans who are eagerly waiting to see the star athlete enjoying his leisure time.
The video did not only capture the great winning shot of Samson but also some hilarious moments as a kid in the background shouts, “Good shot bhaiya”. This comment was the highlight of the post and to add to it Samson responded in comments adding a lighthearted and friendly nature of the interaction. Their partnership on the pickleball court was a delight for the fans to watch.
Samson has had a challenging season, who last played competitive cricket during the T20I series against Sri Lanka in July, where he could get off the mark in both his appearances. Despite this setback and seeing his playful outing, one can say that he is optimistic and all set to make a return in the Ranji Trophy for the 2024-25 season commencing in October
Apart from his domestic commitments, there are signs that Samson may make a return to international cricket during the India vs Bangladesh series in the T20I format later this year. The competition for a place in the national squad is intense considering the retirement of Rohit and Virat, making his performance in the upcoming tournament crucial.
Samson’s display of pickleball skill states so much about his potential versatility as a total athlete, and no less, as indicative of what he’s drawn from a balanced life outside of the gruelling rigours of professional athletics. Fans responded well to the content, expressing their joy at watching sportsmen being involved in other sports outside their showcase events.
