On Thursday, at the Harare Sports Club, the opening one-day international match (ODI) of the three-match series will get off with Team India facing off against Zimbabwe. Following their victory in the white-ball series against the West Indies, the team lead by KL Rahul will be hoping to repeat their success against Zimbabwe. Sanju Samson, who plays wicketkeeper and bats, took a break from all of the action and the ongoing practises to talk about his favourite athlete, who turned out to be MS Dhoni, a former captain of India’s cricket team. Samson’s comments were interesting because they revealed that Dhoni was Samson’s favourite.
Samson was seen responding to a fast fire question in a video that was posted on the Twitter handle of the BCCI. In the video, Samson claimed that MS Dhoni is his favourite sports celebrity.
“There are a lot of them because there are a lot of them, and we have played with all of them. One of them is definitely MS Dhoni, “remarked Samson, who further disclosed that he is a huge supporter of the football player Lionel Messi.
The wicketkeeper continued by stating that spinner Yuzvendra Chahal is a “superstar” and has the best Instagram game out of all of the players on Team India.
“Of course, none other than our very own superstar Yuzi Chahal. Watching his videos is something that I really enjoy doing. When it’s just the two of us in our bedroom, my wife and I like nothing more than settling down to watch Shikhar (Dhawan) bhai’s reels. They are really entertaining as well as interesting, “added Samson.
A video of Shikhar Dhawan, Ishan Kishan, and Shubman Gill dancing humorously and showing off their teamwork was uploaded by Shikhar Dhawan to his Instagram account earlier on Tuesday. In the video, all three of the men can be seen having a good time together.
The clip was posted by Dhawan on his Instagram account, and in it, the three batters could be seen comically dancing to the song “BIBA” by artist Farasat Anees. The batters had a suave outfit, complete with a hoodie and sunglasses.
Dhawan was selected to head Team India in the opening One-Day International match against Zimbabwe in Harare; however, KL Rahul was not included in the squad for this match. In spite of this, Rahul was selected for the team once he had recovered from COVID-19 and was judged to be physically able to participate. He was also given the role of captain, with Dhawan serving as his deputy.
India squad for Zimbabwe series: KL Rahul (Captain), Shikhar Dhawan (Vice-captain), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shubman Gill, Deepak Hooda, Rahul Tripathi, Ishan Kishan (wicket-keeper), Sanju Samson (wicket-keeper), Shahbaz Ahmed, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Avesh Khan, Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj, Deepak Chahar.
