[Watch] Jos Buttler's Heartwarming Post For Sanju Samson After He Scored His Maiden Hundred

In the riveting clash between South Africa and India at Boland Park, Paarl, the third and final ODI proved to be a showdown of epic proportions. With the series poised at 1-1, the stakes were high, and the spotlight fell on India’s resilient batsman, Sanju Samson. Samson, who had faced neglect in the ODI series over the past two years and was notably absent from the ODI World Cup 2023, seized the opportunity to silence his critics in style.

Amidst the clamor of fans questioning the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for not affording sufficient chances to Samson, the swasbuckling batter stepped into the fray in the third ODI. Positioned at number 3, Samson showcased his class by crafting a stellar innings, registering a remarkable century on a challenging wicket. His unbeaten 108 off 114 balls, adorned with 6 fours and 3 sixes, not only anchored India’s innings but also set a formidable target of 297 runs for South Africa.

The cricketing world was quick to recognize Samson’s feat, with England’s flamboyant batsman, Jos Buttler, taking to Instagram to pay homage. Buttler, who shares the field with Samson in the Rajasthan Royals during the Indian Premier League (IPL), posted a story on Instagram applauding Samson’s remarkable comeback.

Rajasthan Royals, the franchise where both Samson and Buttler ply their trade, joined the chorus of appreciation. They posted a captivating image capturing Samson’s jubilation after reaching the milestone. Notably, Yuzvendra Chahal, another Rajasthan Royals player, was seen clapping for Samson in a display of team solidarity.

As the news of Samson’s triumphant innings spread like wildfire on social media, Buttler shared the Rajasthan Royals’ post and tagged Samson with a heart emoji, signifying his admiration for the remarkable achievement. This social media interaction not only added a layer of personal connection but also contributed to the buzz surrounding Samson’s comeback.
