What an absolutely breathtaking innings from Samson it was.
Kerala cricketer Sanju Samson played an incredible knock for his side in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy against Goa in Karnataka on Saturday.
Kerala, after opting to bat first, scored 377 runs with the help of Samson's unbeaten knock of 212 runs off just 129 balls.
Samson hit 21 boundaries and 10 sixes. Sachin Baby also helped Kerala post a colossal target for Goa as he scored 127 runs.
After his clinical knock for his team, cricket fraternity took to Twitter to send their love towards the batsman:
