Surya's fun with Samson (Photo: VIDEOGRAB)

Suryakumar Yadav- Sanju Samson: Team India players have reached Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala for the 5th and last match of the T20 series against New Zealand. Kerala is the home state of Sanju Samson in the current Team India. He is a local boy from Thiruvananthapuram. When Samson reached his home, he got special treatment. The big thing is that this special treatment was not given to him by any fan or family member but by the team captain Suryakumar Yadav. That means Sanju Samson's house but Suryakumar Yadav took care of him, that too by becoming a bodyguard.

Suryakumar Yadav became Samson's bodyguard!

BCCI has shared the video of Team India reaching Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. The highlight of that video is the fun between Surya and Samson. This video is of Thiruvananthapuram airport, in which when Sanju Samson starts coming out from there, Suryakumar Yadav immediately comes in front of him and behaves as if he is his bodyguard.

Suryakumar Yadav was aware of Sanju Samson's popularity in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, keeping that in mind he made Samson feel like a VIP in the video. He clears the crowd in front of them. They urge people to make way for Samson and also stop Samson's fans from taking photographs.

What did Sanju Samson say about Thiruvananthapuram?

In the video, Suryakumar Yadav also talks about Thiruvananthapuram with Samson. Samson tells that he always feels good coming to Thiruvananthapuram and this time it is a more special moment. Samson probably said this because this time he has come here to play the match with Team India.
