Struggling to make a mark in Delhi’s competitive cricket scene, Indian cricketer Sanju Samson shared how a pivotal decision by his father led to the family relocating to Kerala, shaping his cricketing career. Despite recent performance setbacks, Samson is gearing up to bounce back in the upcoming India vs. England T20I. Reflecting on his childhood in Delhi, Samson expressed gratitude for the city’s role in sparking his passion for sports.
Recalling his early love for cricket while growing up in a police colony in Delhi, Samson credited his father for recognizing his talent and steering him towards cricket over football. He reminisced about playing gully cricket with friends in the police quarters, where his interest in the sport blossomed. Samson also fondly remembered a special practice session at the iconic Arun Jaitley Stadium, facilitated by his father’s police duty, which left a lasting impression on him.
