Sanju Samson broke the record for the highest runs scored by an individual in a Vijay Hazare Trophy match. Samson scored an unbeaten 212 runs for Kerala in just 129 balls. His double century knock included 21 fours and 10 sixes, which helped Kerala post a total of 377 runs in 50 overs. Goa, however, could score only 273 runs, falling short by more than a hundred runs.
The reaction
Samson's knock won him a lot of praise on the field but also had him garner a lot of positivity on social media. He was praised by experts, analysts, and fans alike.
Indian Selectors, a small message to you.

There is a player known as Sanju Samson in Kerala.Please look his first class stats. Please watch his latest 200 knock
He can open , bat at no3, no4 etc. Also a wicket keeper
Indian Selectors, I beg you@IamSanjuSamson#SanjuSamson
Sanju Samson didn’t have a List-A hundred for the longest time...the day he gets it, he makes it a double. That’s an incredible feat. A Double-Ton in a 50-over cricket takes some doing....well played 👏👏
