Sanju Samson, the charismatic captain of Rajasthan Royals, continues to win hearts even off the field. The wicketkeeper-batter, who is currently on a break after the conclusion of IPL 2025, was recently seen enjoying a vacation in Dubai.

During his time in the UAE, Sanju Samson was spotted by fans at a popular mall in Dubai. The official social media handle of Rajasthan Royals shared a touching video that captured a warm interaction between the cricketer and one of his admirers. 

Sanju 'Cheta' Responds To Fan's Call

In the video, released by Rajasthan Royals on their official X handle, a fan wearing Royals' jersey approached the RR skipper and requested, “Sanju cheta, can I get a photo?”

Displaying his trademark humility, Samson responded with a smile, gave the fan a friendly hug, and clicked a picture with him. He also signed a bat and shook hands, leaving the fan visibly overwhelmed. A large crowd soon gathered around the star cricketer, but Samson handled the situation gracefully, interacting with fans and maintaining a cheerful demeanour before heading out.

Samson, who has a massive fanbase not just in Rajasthan but across India, has been out of the national squad in recent T20 assignments. With the Asia Cup around the corner and competition for spots heating up, the 30-year-old is currently not in the selection mix. For now, the cricketer seems to be making the most of his downtime.

Samson's IPL 2025 Stint 

The IPL 2025 season was a mixed bag for Samson. Plagued by injuries, he could only feature in 9 matches for Rajasthan Royals. In his absence, young Riyan Parag was handed the captaincy for the remaining games. However, when Samson did take the field, he impressed with the bat. 

He scored 285 runs at a strike rate of 140.39 and an average of 31.67. His standout innings came in the season opener against Sunrisers Hyderabad, where he smashed a quickfire 66 off 37 balls. 

Nevertheless, as fans continue to admire his down-to-earth nature and batting prowess, all eyes will be on whether Samson can make a strong return to India’s T20 setup in the coming months.
