His performance captivated fans and critics alike.
In the wake of his match-winning heroics in the final against New Zealand, Samson publicly acknowledged his wife’s steadfast support, crediting her for standing by him through every high and low of his cricketing journey.
“Right from the day I met you, till this day of my life…!! Thank you so very much for being by my side, loving me for who I am and being absolutely true and honest to me no matter what I was to the outside world. Seeing my best side, seeing my worst side, you have seen it all and still stood strong by me.!! Thank you for understanding how big cricket is in my life and making it the same for you,” he wrote.
“And you have wished and dreamed with the same passion and intensity as I did for this moment. Thank you so very much my dear Pondattiiiiii,” he concluded.
Charulatha Remesh also shared her pride and admiration for her husband following the team’s victory, posting a heartfelt message that read: “My trophy holding his trophy. Just too grateful.”
