All that you need to know about Sanju Samson

India's young wicket-keeper batsman Sanju Samson replaced the injured Shikhar Dhawan for the upcoming T20I series against West Indies, starting December 6. Samson was drafted in as Dhawan's replacement, after the latter suffered a deep cut on his left knee during a Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy game for Delhi against Maharashtra. Here's all that you need to know about Samson.

Samson
Samson will hope to get some games

Samson was called up to the T20I side against Bangladesh earlier this month. However, he didn't get a single game. For the series against West Indies, the promising player was dropped. It's a good move by the selectors to name him as Dhawan's replacement. He will hope to get some matches under his belt in order to stake a claim in the team.

Dream
'The dream is to win the World T20 for India'

Samson revealed his dream after being selected. "The dream is to win the World T20 for India in Australia. I am training for that, not to be a part of the team. I want to win the World Cup for my country and that is the standard I set for myself and that is how I plan my work ethics," he told IANS.

Record
Brilliant Samson smashed a superb record last month

Recently, Samson hit an unbeaten 212 in 129 balls, scoring the highest List A score by a wicket-keeper batsman. He surpassed the 209* by Pakistani cricketer Abid Ali. His 212* is the highest score in Vijay Hazare Trophy history. Samson also smashed the fastest List A 200 by an Indian batsman, besides being the first one to do so batting at number three position.

Career
A look at Samson's career

Notably, Samson has represented India in one T20I back in 2015 against Zimbabwe. He scored 19 in that match. He has played 53 First-Class matches and has amassed 2,945 runs at 36.81. Samson has scored nine hundreds and 11 fifties. In List A cricket, he has notched 2,281 runs at 30.82 in 82 innings.

Samson marriage
Samson tied the knot last year

Last year, Samson married his long-time girlfriend Charulatha. The duo's wedding was solemnized under the Special Marriage Act as Sanju is a Christian and Charulatha is a Hindu Nair. "There were just 30 of us from both the families and it was a very simple function," said Samson. He added that they were very happy that they got blessings from both the families.

Information
Samson is a celebrated IPL figure

Samson has been a household name in the Indian Premier League (IPL). In 93 IPL matches, Samson has 2,209 runs at 27.61. He has the distinction of two hundreds in IPL and shares the tally with several legends such as Ajinkya Rahane and Brendon McCullum.
