Thiruvananthapuram: The Kerala government will hold an official reception in the state capital on Monday to honor cricketer Sanju Samson, the architect of India’s victory in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup and Player of the Tournament. State Sports Minister V Abdurahiman said in his statement that the reception will be held at the Central Stadium at 16:00.
It was stated that Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan will inaugurate the event, which will be attended by the sports minister, General Secretary and other senior officials.
Hailing from the coastal town of Vizhinjam, Samson played a key role in India’s victory in the tournament with a series of impressive batting performances.
His consistent performance, including the virtual quarter-final, semi-final and final, helped India retain the title.
The World Cup also marks a strong comeback for the Keralite cricketer after a brief slump in form, the statement said, adding that elaborate arrangements have been made by the Sports Department to give him a grand welcome.
