Sanju Samson is back in form. In one ball, Samson struck 13 runs. The naturally talented batter displayed some inspiring strokes while batting for Kochi Blue Tigers on Match 11 of KCL 2025 against Thrissur Titans today (August 26, 2025). Rajasthan Royals shares the video from their official social media account.

Sanju was up against the Thrissur Titans captain and spinner Sijomon when he smashed back-to-back two over boundaries—the first boundary through the off side and the second boundary through the on side. Samson, with his skills, made both of the shots comfortable for the eyes. The first six he hit were over the extra cover region, which was a no ball too. Then, in the next delivery, Samson again got enough room to free his arms. This time he hoisted the overlongregion for another six. Thus, with the help of the no ball, the keeper-batter added 13 runs in 1 ball for the Kochi Blue Tigers.

Samson was in full swing from the beginning of the match. Before heading back to the pavilion, the top-order batter scored 89 off 46, powered by four 4s and nine 6s. As a collective effort, the Tigers registered 188 for 7 on the scoreboard, batting first. Sijomon did not dare to complete his 4-over quota. Without taking any scalps, the spinner leaked 32 runs in 3 overs, the economy rate ticking over 10.

The innings right before Asia Cup 2025

After the destructive innings, Sanju is leading the top run-scorers list of the ongoing Kerala Cricket League 2025 with 197 runs, maintaining a strike rate of 184.1. His form and precise batting will definitely boost up his confidence ahead of the Asia Cup 2025.

Samson had to face some criticisms at the beginning of the KCL because of his inconsistency. For the Tigers, the top-order batter once came to bat as a middle-order batsman and missed his flair. After playing a short, sluggish innings, Samson lost his wicket cheaply. After going back to his original batting position, the 30-year-old again regained his form.
