Sanju Samson scored his first international and ODI century and announced himself. The batter from Kerala impressed everyone, from teammates to experts, and silenced all of his critics. However, it wasn’t just superstars on the field but off the field as well who were in awe of Samson.
Salaar superstar Prithviraj Sukumaran congratulated his fellow Keralite, tweeting from his X (formerly Twitter) account, “Sanju on Thursday. #Salaar on Friday! ❤️🔥 @IamSanjuSamson is easily one of the most naturally gifted batsmen currently playing the game!”

Sanju Samson’s journey to his maiden ODI century & chance to make the cut in T20Is
Sanju Samson’s journey to his maiden ODI and international century was marked by setbacks. Despite averaging over 50 in ODIs, the batter was left off the Asia Cup and World Cup squads. This outstanding century in the series decider has not only silenced critics but also strengthened his case for a permanent spot on the Indian cricket team in ODIs.
Promoted to the No. 3 position, Sanju Samson played a classical ODI knock that helped India secure a 2-1 series win over South Africa. He helped KL Rahul and India avenge their 3-0 whitewash in the 2021-22 series.
This ton will jumpstart Samson’s career and renew his self-belief. The 29-year-old has undeniable talent and is showing the world how much impact it has. With the 29-year-old already showing his acumen in ODIs, he would be raring to show his best in T20s with the 3-match T20 IND vs AFG series and IPL 2024 still left before the T20 World Cup 2024.
