Watch: Sanju Samson shows big heart for Yashasvi Jaiswal’s century, fans remember MS Dhoni-Virat Kohli
[ad_1]
In the 56th match of IPL 2023, Rajasthan Royals defeated Kolkata Knight Riders by 9 wickets due to the stormy innings of young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal. In this match played at Eden Gardens, Jaiswal scored an unbeaten 98 off 47 balls. At the same time, in this match, the fans got to see such a sight, which reminded the fans of MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli. After seeing Captain Sanju Samson’s gesture, fans started comparing him with ‘Captain Cool’ Dhoni.
Samson gave up his half-century and gave Jaiswal a chance to score a century.
During this innings of Yashasvi Jaiswal, he was seen scoring a century at one time, but a moment also came when Jaiswal was out of strike and then it seemed that he might be left standing at 94 runs. Then Rajasthan needed only 3 runs to win and there was one ball left in the 13th over. Samson himself was playing at that time scoring 48 runs off 28 balls. In such a situation, Captain Sanju decided to leave his half-century and complete Jaiswal’s century. Then bowler Suyash Sharma put this last ball wide of the leg side but Samson did not let this ball go wide and defended the ball, leaving Jaiswal with a chance to complete his century. After this, he also gestured for Jaiswal to hit a six. This gesture of Sanju Samson not only increased his respect but also reminded the fans of MS Dhoni.

Dhoni did this for Virat Kohli
MS Dhoni also did something similar for Virat Kohli in the 2014 T20 World Cup semi-final, in that match India was chasing a target of 173 runs and Kohli played a blistering inning. There was a moment in this match too where Dhoni came to the crease for the last ball of the 19th over. Then Virat Kohli was playing after scoring a half-century and India was successful in winning that match only because of his brilliant innings. Had Dhoni wanted, he could have won India by hitting a shot on that last ball, but the Indian captain deliberately defended that ball and asked Kohli to hit the winning shot. After this, Kohli made India win by hitting a four on the first ball of the next over. In the end, Virat remained unbeaten after scoring 72 runs in 44 balls.
