Ex-India cricketer Dinesh Karthik said wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson is "someone who has always been an enigma". "People have loved him. He is, for me, the most loved cricketer. Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, MS Dhoni, he seems to have that kind of fan following," he added. Samson scored 97*(50) in India's T20 World Cup Super Eight match against the West Indies.
