Indian wicket-keeper batter Sanju Samson was spotted enjoying a game of pickleball with UAE cricketer Chirag Suri, utilising his time off from cricket. The video of the pickleball game was shared online on the official Instagram account of Chirag Suri, wherein Sanju Samson won a point in style before following it up with an extravagant celebration.
Notably, Sanju Samson last played competitive cricket for India on the tour of Sri Lanka in July of this year during a T20I series. In his two appearances at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, the 29-year-old got dismissed without troubling the scorers on both occasion, but still, India went onto defeat Sri Lanka.
In the viral video of Sanju Samson playing pickleball, a child in the background shouted “Good shot bhaiya” after the Indian cricketer won a point. Chirag Suri took the words of the child as a caption in his post on Instagram, and funny enough, Sanju Samson also wrote the same in the comments section.

Moreover, as per the latest reports, Sanju Samson is set to feature for Kerala in the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 season in October. To prepare for the red-ball tournament, he is expected to skip the upcoming edition of the Kerala Premier League T20 tournament next month.
