Sanju Samson in Hospital Ahead of Asia Cup: Wife's Post Sparks Concern

New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu): Just before the Asia Cup 2025 starting on September 9 in the UAE, a worrying news has come out for the Indian cricket team. A shocking update has been received about star wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson, who is included in the 15-member squad announced for the tournament, which has increased the heartbeat of the fans. In a picture shared on social media by Samson's wife Charulata Ramesh, Sanju is seen in the hospital.

Wife's post caused a stir, Sanju seen on the field again

Actually, this whole matter came to light when Sanju's wife Charulata posted a story on her Instagram on August 21, in which Sanju was seen in the hospital. This post went viral in no time and fans became worried about Samson's health, as less than two weeks are left for the Asia Cup to begin.

However, amidst this concern, Sanju Samson showed amazing passion for his game. Charulata told that despite being in the hospital at 3 pm on August 21, Sanju came on the field for his team 'Kochi Blue Tigers' in a Kerala Cricket League (KCL) match that night. In this match, he did the entire fielding and also contributed significantly in a runout, although he did not get a chance to bat.

Samson is in great form

It is very important for Team India that Sanju Samson stays fit. He has recently performed brilliantly as an opening batsman in the T20 international format. In the year 2024, he has scored three centuries against Bangladesh and South Africa. Given his explosive form, he is being considered an important player in the Asia Cup.

Is your place in the playing XI confirmed?

In this team captained by Suryakumar Yadav, Shubman Gill has been made the vice-captain, whose return has made the equation of the playing XI interesting. Cricket experts believe that Gill and Abhishek Sharma can start the innings, in such a situation Sanju Samson may have to bat in the middle order. At present, there has been no official statement from BCCI or Sanju on his health, but fans have breathed a sigh of relief by playing the match on the same day despite being seen in the hospital.
