Watch: Team India sings Happy Birthday to Sanju Samson on the bus

Team India celebrated Sanju Samson's birthday ahead of the third T20I against South Africa. The squad's positive spirit aims to fuel their comeback in the series.

The Indian cricket team had a special moment as they celebrated Sanju Samson’s birthday on November 11, just ahead of IND vs SA 3rd T20I at Centurion. The birthday festivities took place in the midst of a packed schedule as the team gathered together for a cake-cutting ceremony to honour the wicketkeeper-batsman.

Team India bonds ahead of crucial T20I

While the team has been busy preparing for the crucial T20I series, the celebrations brought a light-hearted atmosphere to the squad. Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Suryakumar Yadav, and other members of the team joined in to make the day memorable for Samson, who turned a year older. This show of friendship off the field reflects the positive team spirit as they gear up for the final two matches in the series.

A challenging start to the series for India

Although the mood was upbeat, the team’s focus remains on the series, which is currently tied at 1-1. After a dramatic loss in the second T20I, where South Africa chased down a modest target, India will be looking to bounce back with a strong performance in Centurion. Despite the loss, Samson’s birthday celebration reminded the team of their togetherness and resilience, which could prove crucial in the remaining matches.

Chakravarthy’s heroic effort and India’s determination

In the second T20I, despite India’s narrow defeat, Varun Chakravarthy shone with a career-best 5/17. Samson’s birthday was a welcome distraction, but the team is determined to come back stronger, with the birthday celebrations giving them the motivation to push forward.

With the third T20I on the horizon, Team India hopes that the positive energy from the birthday celebrations will fuel their performance, as they look to regain control of the series and make a comeback.
