Watch: Sanju Samson wins fans’ hearts by obliging to answer call while clicking selfie

Sanju Samson, a fan favourite, may not be a regular in India, but his popularity with the general public is skyrocketing. During a picture and autograph session for the Rajasthan Royals, Samson made an extraordinarily modest gesture by answering a fan’s phone call at the request of another fan. Samson was handed the phone to take a selfie when he abruptly heard the phone call. The Royals captain picked up the phone at the request of the fan whose phone it was. The subsequent events were funny.

The fan who possessed the phone informed the person on the other end that he was speaking to Samson. The RR star then agreed to the fan’s request to greet his friend.

The Samson-led Rajasthan Royals would like to rebound with a victory over the Chennai Super Kings in their IPL encounter at home on Thursday after suffering back-to-back losses, but it would be more difficult said than done as the MS Dhoni-led club has been on a tear with three straight triumphs.

Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Ajinkya Rahane, and Shivam Dube make up CSK’s top order, and they often work together to score runs. The Royals have lost their previous two games.

The CSK top order hitters and the Royals’ world-class spinners may square off in Thursday’s game.
