About Sanju Samson
Sanju Samson is one of the most stylish batters in Indian cricket and the biggest cricket star from Kerala. Born in 1994 in Pulluvila, a coastal village near Thiruvananthapuram, he spent his early childhood in Delhi before returning to Kerala, where his talent was nurtured. Known for effortless six-hitting and a calm, friendly personality, he has an enormous and passionate fan base across Kerala and the Malayali diaspora.
Career highlights
Sanju made his first-class debut for Kerala in 2011 and was vice-captain of India’s team at the 2014 Under-19 World Cup. He made his IPL debut for Rajasthan Royals in 2013, winning the Emerging Player of the Year award, and later captained the franchise. In the 2019–20 Vijay Hazare Trophy he struck an unbeaten 212, one of the fastest double centuries in List A cricket.
He scored his maiden ODI century against South Africa in December 2023 and became a key part of India’s T20 side. He was a member of the teams that won the 2024 and 2026 T20 World Cups, and he was named Player of the Tournament at the 2026 edition.
