With just a day to go before India takes on England in the first T20I at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens on January 22, a light-hearted video of Indian opener Sanju Samson and assistant coach Abhishek Nayar is stealing the spotlight. The duo was caught on camera singing the iconic Bollywood track ‘Pehla Nasha’ from the 1991 classic ‘Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar’.
The video, shared by Samson during a team bonding session, has since gone viral. Samson captioned the video as, “Nothing is impossible!!! Njan paadi. Mein Mumbai aa sakta hu?” The post charmed fans and drew a cheeky response from India’s T20I captain, Suryakumar Yadav. Surya commented, “Aap Mumbai aa rahe hai lekin Chennai Rajkot Pune audition ke baad,” referencing the five-match T20I series venues.
The moment of camaraderie has sparked a wave of positive reactions online. Fans have praised the team management for fostering a supportive environment for Samson, with one commenting, “Good to see the team management keeping him motivated. A happy and confident Sanju can be a game-changer.”
Others joined the fun, with remarks like “Sanju and Abhishek dropping a mixtape? Waiting for the collab with Arijit next”, and “Ab bonding hii bonding dikhegi”.
