India wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson realised his childhood dream of meeting superstar Rajinikanth after the veteran actor invited him to his residence. Sharing a photo of the meeting on Twitter, Samson expressed his joy for having gotten the opportunity, which according to him, came after a prolonged wait.
As revealed in the tweet, the Kerala cricketer is a huge fan of Rajinikanth since he was a seven-year-old and used to tell his parents, “One day I will go and meet Rajni sir in his house.”

Samson will be leading Rajasthan Royals at the 16th edition of the Indian Premier League, which is slated to begin from March 31. With players like Shimron Hetmyer, Jos Buttler, Devdutt Padikkal, Trent Boult, R. Ashwin, and Yuzvendra Chahal on their team, the Royals surely have a formidable lineup.
During the IPL mini auction last December, the franchise also signed prominent global stars like Joe Root and Jason Holder. RR finished runners-up last season will play their first match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 2 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium.
