Sanju Samson hit an unbeaten 97 against West Indies in India’s must-win Super 8 game on Sunday, March 1, to help his side secure a place in the T20 World Cup semi-finals. For his heroic efforts with the bat, the right-handed batter picked up the Player of the Match award.  

The 31-year-old dialled her wife right after his match-winning innings but was unable to get in touch.  

“No messages! Calling the wife, the Boss! It never connects,” said Samson after a failed attempt to reach out to his wife. 

However, after collecting his Player of the Match medal, Samson pulled out his phone from his socks and video called his wife, Charulatha Samson, to share the post-game emotions.  

In a heartwarming moment, his wife did not know that she was being filmed by the media, and later gave a huge smile and posed to celebrate the moment once she found out that she was being recorded.
