“I know what to do with you next time we meet” – Sanju Samson mocks Shimron Hetmyer in his latest Instagram post

Rajasthan Royals (RR) captain Sanju Samson is enjoying quality time off the field ahead of IPL 2023.

On Tuesday (January 31), Samson took to social media and shared a picture of a sports bike, wearing all black with the matching two-wheeler.

Samson’s RR teammate Shimron Hetmyer was quick to leave a comment. He tried to troll his skipper with a cheeky reply:

“Not a bad look for u @imsanjusamson… hopefully u no what to do with that machine.”

Samson then pulled Hetmyer's leg. He wrote:

“@shetmyer hahaha Hettie…yeah and I know what to do with you next time we meet !!” along with fisted hand sign emoji.

So far, the post has garnered over 2 lakh likes within five hours.

Sanju Samson last played for Team India against Sri Lanka earlier this month. He injured his knee while fielding, which ruled him out of the ongoing T20I series against New Zealand.

A BCCI release stated:

“Samson hurt his left knee while attempting to field a ball near the boundary ropes during the first T20I and has been advised rest and rehabilitation.”
