Sanju Samson celebrates Onam with wife shares heartwarming moments ahead of 2025 Asia Cup

India batter Sanju Samson marked the occasion of Onam by posting a heartfelt message along with pictures on social media. Celebrating with his wife, Charulatha Remesh, the Kerala cricketer shared four images on Instagram dressed in traditional attire. He captioned the post: “Onam wishes to all from us.”

Away from festivities, Samson is preparing for the upcoming 2025 Asia Cup, which begins on September 9. India, led by Suryakumar Yadav, has been drawn into Group A alongside hosts UAE, Oman, and Pakistan. The 30-year-old batter has played 42 T20Is for India, scoring 861 runs at an average of 25.32 with a strike rate of 152.38, including two fifties and three centuries. His highest score remains 111.

Samson has developed into one of India’s frontline openers alongside Abhishek Sharma after the 2024 T20 World Cup. However, with Test skipper Shubman Gill being appointed vice-captain of the T20I side, competition for the opening spot has intensified, leaving the Kerala batter under pressure to retain his position.
