Sanju Samson played a sparkling knock that traveled Rajasthan Royals (RR) to triumph against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) on Sunday night at Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Samson's 42-ball 85 intensified Rajasthan's run-pursue against a firm 224-run target, given by KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal. His endeavors were sufficiently uproarious to legitimize why he is the one for a perpetual spot in the Indian cricket room.

With Samson's shocking knock, trailed by Rahul Tewatia's dynamic appearance, RR enlisted the most elevated ever run-pursue throughout the entire existence of the Indian Premier League. These heroics accumulated gestures of recognition via web-based media from the whole way across the globe.

Veteran lawmaker and Congress MP Shashi Tharoor took to Twitter to extol Samson's commitment to the previous evening's triumph. Tharoor has been a vocal ally of the Kerala cricketer and this time considered him the 'next MS Dhoni'.

“What an absolutely incredible win for @rajasthanroyals ! I’ve known @iamSanjuSamson for a decade & told him when he was 14 that he would one day be the next MS Dhoni. Well, that day is here. After his two amazing innings in this IPL you know a world-class player has arrived,” Tharoor tweeted.

The tweet echoed the sentiments of numerous cricket fans. However, cricketer-turned-politician Gautam Gambhir didn’t quite like Tharoor drawing parallels between Samson and the former Indian captain. In response to Tharoor’s tweet, Gambhir wrote, “Sanju Samson doesn’t need to be next to anyone. He will be ‘the’ Sanju Samson of Indian Cricket.” 

Sanju Samson doesnt need to be next anyone. He will be the Sanju Samson of Indian Cricket. https://t.co/xUBmQILBXv

Gambhir is one of those characters from the cricket society who has supported Samson at all times. When Rajasthan started their season by crushing Chennai Super Kings by 14 runs, Samson was the batting pillar. He pummeled 74 runs off 32 balls, with nine sixes, and helped power his group to put a mammoth absolute of 216/7 ready.

Following his innings, Gambhir loaded acclaims on Sanju, naming him the 'best young batsman in India' and expressed his amazed as the Kerala player not finding a perpetual aspect of the Indian group.
