Out of the playing eleven, Sanju, replaces Ishan Kishen’s regular partner and World No. 1 T20 batter, Abhishek Sharma who became suddenly sick
As Sanju played instead of Abhishek vs Namibia, he hit a cameo, the strike rate of which almost 300 did tick
Easily in their first over, innocuous offies did the lefty-duo Indian openers for a blob, pick
Back in the squad came Sanju and to the right-left opening pair of Samson-Abhishek India did thankfully stick
Against Zimbabwe, in his short stay, Sanju showed aggression and intent to enthrall the Chennai crowd who came in droves to watch the new CSK son, by the metro, by the rick
In the ‘quarters’ against Windies as Sanju started and finished the nearly 200 chase job bettering even the best of the Kohli chase-master trick
He scored a 89 off 42 balls in the semis, deftly mixing up caresses and clubs, making Harry Brook who dropped him when he was just15 look like a lunatic
He scored a 89 off 46 balls in the Final, building along with Abhishek and Ishan, a 200+ plus score, with five overs still to go, brick by brick
But what I remember the MOST about Sanju is that he constantly crossing himself, reminding us of the fact that Jesus died for our sins, the blood that oozed from him, cleanses all who will trust him after truly feeling that Holy Spirit sin-conviction-prick
I just had to go from the story of God’s own country’s favorite son, Samson to the story of Son of God’s eternal son, Jesus, older than the proverbial Jurassic
Because Jesus has given me joy unspeakable full of glory and if I did not tell you about him, I would be pharisaic
