    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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    He added that they were very happy that they got blessings from both the families.
