Watch: Sanju Samson and Kuldeep Yadav's funny reaction in cold weather of New Chandigarh during IND vs SA 2nd T20I goes viral
Sanju Samson and Kuldeep Yadav, both of whom were not part of the eleven for the second T20I against South Africa, made a funny reaction to the cold weather of New Chandigarh as the video goes viral.
India faced a massive defeat of over 50 runs against South Africa during the second T20I of the five-match series at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh. Their performance with the ball and bat was not up to the mark as the Protea side bounced back incredibly to square off the series at 1-1.
The cold weather of Chandigarh was not easy for the players and the fans. But there was a funny interaction between the wicket-keeper batter of the side, Sanju Samson, and the left-arm wrist spinner, Kuldeep Yadav, who were not playing the clash and were standing outside the boundary rope. The video of their interaction went viral on social media.

There was a point when Kuldeep, dressed in his cap and putting a towel on his face, came to put his frozen hands on Samson’s cheek. The latter held the spinner on his shoulder and brought him closer. The fans kept making loud noise as the funny situation flew around the social platforms.
Sanju Samson and Kuldeep Yadav’s funny reaction to Chandigarh’s cold weather
Samson, who has smashed 185 runs in 10 innings of the T20Is this year, was dropped from the eleven after getting a couple of chances in the previous five-match T20I series against Australia down under. The management has given Shubman Gill a long rope at the opening spot, but the Punjab-born hasn’t shown any promising signs either.

Meanwhile, Kuldeep Yadav, who picked up 19 wickets in nine T20I innings in 2025 at an average of just around 11 and an economy rate of seven with the best figures of 4/7, has also not been picked in the eleven. Varun Chakravarthy could partner Kuldeep to hamper the middle-order batting of the opposition.
India collected a massive victory by over 100 runs in the opening clash at Cuttack, but let themselves down in Chandigarh. They will have a chance to take a lead in the third encounter at the Himachal Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala.
