Twitter explodes as Sanju Samson smashes the first century of IPL 2019

03/29/2019

Sanju Samson set the stadium on fire by smashing a magnificent century against Sunrisers Hyderabad as his knock of 102 runs off 55 balls made sure that Royals reached a total of 198. Twitter went mental after his century and even went as far calling him a solution to India's middle-order problems.

High praise from the legend!

I normally don’t like to talk about individuals in cricket. But seeing his skills I am glad to note that Sanju Samson is currently the best Wicketkeeper batsman in India. For me he should be batting number 4 in the World Cup @BCCI @rajasthanroyals @IPL @StarSportsIndia

When he hit 24 against Bhuvneshwar!

24 of the classiest runs hit in an over. What an absolute delight it is to watch Sanju Samson bat.. Has that extra second like Rohit Sharma... Timing... Beautiful batting @rajasthanroyals #SRHvRR

From another planet!😜

Sanju Samson is on another level. Another planet. A player that should be playing international cricket, not just a T-20 league. 👏👏👏👏

Next Big Thing?

When you see Sanju Samson bat as he has done today, you wonder why and how he lost his way in the past 3-4 years. When he burst on the season, he was the next ‘Big Thing’.
