Sanju Samson has shown his value to the Indian T20 team with his talent and flexibility. He often adjusts his batting order and also manages wicketkeeping duties with ease. A recent practice session photo has now sparked unwanted trolling online.
Pant Fans Mock Samson Over Viral Picture
A picture of Sanju from training before the 1st T20I against South Africa went viral. In it, he appears slightly on the heavier side. This led many cricket fans, especially Rishabh Pant supporters, to troll him.
Comparisons With Pant and Rohit Sharma
Fans claimed that Pant is often criticised for being fat even though he looks slimmer than Samson. Some also joked that Sanju now resembles the old Rohit Sharma. They added that Rohit has worked hard to look more like the earlier version of Sanju Samson.
Social Media Reactions and Fitness Talk
The mockery continues across platforms. But many agree that fitness is important for a national player. While being chubby does not always affect performance, maintaining fitness is still essential at the international level.
Importance of Staying Fit for India
Several players have performed well despite not having a lean frame. Even so, athletes must aim to stay fit while representing India. It helps them handle workload, pressure and long tours with ease.
