Sports News: The Asia Cup is about to begin, for which the preparation of Team India has also begun in Dubai. This time, the son of a constable working in Delhi Police is also included in Team India, who is a great batsman by nature. The son of a constable can prove to be a trump card for Team India if he gets a chance in the Asia Cup. His constable father, apart from being a policeman, has also been an expert player. The son has got that passion and enthusiasm for the game from his father. Here we are talking about Sanju Samson and his father Samson Vishwanath.

Father took a big decision for Sanju

Samson Vishwanath very quickly sensed his son's passion for cricket and then took the decision to shift the family from Delhi to Kerala, which put Sanju's career on the right track. During this time, Samson Vishwanath stayed in Delhi and continued his job as a police officer.

Sanju's father Samson Vishwanath has been a footballer

However, Samson Vishwanath was not just a policeman. He was also an amazing Indian footballer. He has also represented Delhi in Santosh Trophy. His father remained content playing at the state level. But his younger son Sanju wore the jersey of Team India in cricket. And now he is in Dubai to play Asia Cup.

Sanju's blast in KCL before Asia Cup

The good thing is that Sanju Samson has gone to play in the Asia Cup in full form. Before going there, he has shown his batting prowess in the Kerala Cricket League 2025. Before the Asia Cup, he has scored 368 runs in 5 innings of 6 matches played in KCL 2025 at an average of 73.60. During this, he has scored 1 century while his strike rate has been 186.80.
