Actor Biju Menon recently took to Instagram to celebrate Kerala’s wicketkeeper-batter, Sanju Samson, for securing a spot in India’s 15-member squad for the upcoming ICC Twenty20 World Cup. The ‘Garudan’ actor shared a heartwarming photo of their meeting, where he could be seen planting a kiss on Samson’s cheek. Alongside the image, Menon penned a congratulatory message, expressing pride and urging Samson to keep striving. Samson, in turn, had previously acknowledged Menon as his senior and a registered player of the Thrissur District Cricket Association. The news of Samson’s selection has prompted a flurry of congratulatory messages from various quarters, including celebrities like Tovino Thomas and Kalidas Jayaram. Samson’s impressive performances in the IPL, both as a batter and captain for the Rajasthan Royals, evidently caught the selectors’ eye, securing his place in the T20 World Cup squad ahead of competitors like Rahul and Ishan Kishan.
