Sanju Samson found himself in a light-hearted exchange with a fan from across the border following India’s one-off T20I against Japan in Sano, with the unusual interaction quickly catching attention online. The fan initially attempted to get the attention of Ishan Kishan after the match but failed to receive a response. He then shifted his focus to Samson, who was making his way through the area as players and supporters interacted after the game.
