Wife shares update on Sanju Samson in hospital before playing Kerala Cricket League 2025 in evening [In Pictures]

India cricketer Sanju Samson’s wife, Charulatha Remesh, shared an update on social media on Thursday, August 21, about her husband. Earlier that day, Samson was seen in the hospital with medical strips on his hand, but later he played in the second match of the Kerala Cricket League 2025 for the Kochi Blue Tigers (KBT).

The Tigers won the toss and elected to field, sending the Adani Trivandrum Royals (ART) in to bat. The Royals endured a disappointing outing, being bowled out for 97 runs in 20 overs. In response, the Blue Tigers chased the target comfortably, winning by eight wickets with 49 balls to spare. Saly Viswanath remained unbeaten on 50 off 30 balls, hitting five fours and three sixes.

After the match, Charulatha shared an Instagram story noting that while Samson had been in the hospital at 3 pm, he was involved in a runout on the field by 8 pm during Kerala’s T20 league match. She wrote:

“My boy.”
