Sanju Samson shared a poster of himself with Team India working out in the nets in the background at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram on Tuesday (October 3).
The 28-year-old, who hails from Kerala, shared the snapshot ahead of the India vs Netherlands World Cup warmup game, which got abandoned due to rain, at the venue.
Samson, who failed to make a cut in 15-member India’s squad for the World Cup, captioned the Instagram post:
“With Team India @ God’s own country!!”
A couple of weeks ago, he shared a similar post on Instagram. Back then, he wrote:
“It is what it is!! I choose to keep moving forward.”
