"ITS A DREAM!!"- Sanju Samson reacts to Kumar Sangakkara using his bats in village cricket
Rajasthan Royals (RR) captain Sanju Samson expressed his excitement at watching Director of Cricket Kumar Sangakkara use his bats while playing village cricket. The Sri Lankan legend plays village cricket in his locality.
In a video posted by Rajasthan Royals, Sangakkara is seen thanking Samson for giving him a couple of bats to play as he had none of his own. He also cheekily mentioned Yuzvendra Chahal and reminded him of his promise.
Here's what Kumar Sangakkara said:
"In my, in my village cricket, I have two of Sanju's bats. He was very kind to give me two of his bats because I have no memorabilia, no bats lying around the house, nothing. So I had to start from scratch. Yuzi, if you're watching this, remember you had promised me some SG kits as well so remember. I am waiting for that as well."
Sanju Samson reposted the video on his Instagram Story and here's what he wrote:
"Kumar Sangakkara using my bats!! HAHAHA...ITS A DREAM!!"
Samson and Kumar Sangakkara have formed a great partnership at RR, reaching the final of the IPL 2022 season and going all the way to Qualifier 2 of the latest season earlier this year.
