Kerala Captain Sanju Samson smashes century [Twitter]
The Kerala batter Sanju Samson showcased his batting prowess, steering Kerala towards a challenging target against Railways on Tuesday, December 5. Facing a daunting 256-run goal, Kerala stumbled at 26/3, but Samson's resilient knock turned the tide for his team.
The Kerala captain's magnificent innings of 128 runs off 139 deliveries earned him widespread acclaim on social media. Netizens hailed Samson's century as a testament to his skill and composure under pressure. Despite his stellar performance, Kerala ultimately fell short, succumbing to an 18-run defeat as they finished at 237/8 after 50 overs.
Here's how netizens reacted:
Despite the setback, Kerala concluded the league stage as Group A table-toppers, winning five out of seven games. Alongside Samson, Shreyas Gopal's vital 53-run contribution added momentum to Kerala's innings.
The loss, however, did little to dampen Samson's spirits, as he remains in fine form heading into the South Africa series. With an impressive average of 55 in ODIs, the Kerala skipper aims to capitalize on his recent success, eyeing a strong performance against the Proteas and setting the stage for the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025.
