Rajasthan Royals shared the video with the caption, "RR Admin since 2013:" Samson had joined the Royals back in 2013 for a three-year stint before joining the Delhi franchise of the Indian Premier League. He returned to Rajasthan Royals in 2018 and was later named the skipper in 2021.

Earlier, other Indian teammates R Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal also had pulled off the same. Sharing an image of the Kerala crowd, both the cricketers tagged Samson in their Instagtam stories.

Despite being backed by India captain Rohit Sharma earlier this year for a place in the Indian T20I team, Samson was offered limited opportunities before missing the squad for both Asia Cup and the T20 World Cup.

"It really does get challenging. Finding a place in the Indian team is really challenging. There is a lot of competition around, even among players who are in the team now. When these things happen, it is important to focus on myself," Samson had said, as quoted by PTI.
