The talk of the town has been around Samson, who could potentially get traded into the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) side for the change of players- Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran- to the Rajasthan Royals. During a recent interaction, the wicket-keeper batter recalled an emotional story of his birthday.
“In my life, the biggest blessing for me was to get my wife. Before getting married, we were in a relationship for nearly five years, and we didn’t leak the news to our parents; they got to know only after we got married. Our marriage was in December, and my birthday is in November. So, my wife invited me to their house on my birthday and celebrated there with her family and my friends.” Samson expressed in the video.

‘The entire house was decorated with lights, and I was taken to the terrace. They put a huge screen there where the videos of my batting were playing. And on the giant screen, they displayed a very emotional story. Like how I have made it to the place along with my family and friends, and how proud I should be for my achievement- that was the video.” Samson addressed.
“I kept telling myself various critical things. And that evening, through the four minutes of video, they told me how I should look at the success at 24 years of age. And I got tears to make that birthday really special. That was the reaction, even though I am not an emotional guy.” India’s wicket-keeper batter shed light.
