Sanju Samson Memes Crash the Internet as He Drops Crucial Catch After Getting Out for Duck

It hasn't been the best of times for Sanju Samson or his ardent supporters, especially those in the "Justice for Sanju Samson" group, who have been vocal in their support for the talented wicketkeeper-batsman. The internet is abuzz with memes after Samson's latest mishap in the ongoing T20I series against Sri Lanka, where he dropped a vital catch following his dismissal for a duck.

Sanju Samson was brought into the playing XI after vice-captain Shubman Gill was sidelined due to a neck spasm in the second T20I. However, Samson's opportunity to shine was cut short as he was dismissed for a golden duck. While India managed to win that match, the attention quickly shifted to Samson's lackluster performance.

The series has gone from bad to worse for Sanju Samson. In the third T20I against Sri Lanka, he recorded his second consecutive duck, adding to his woes. But the most critical moment came when he dropped a crucial catch off Mohammed Siraj's bowling, a moment that could have provided India with a much-needed breakthrough.

After winning the toss and electing to bat, India posted a below-par total of 137/9 in 20 overs at Pallekele. With the match finely poised, India's bowlers needed to strike early in the second innings. However, Samson's dropped catch off Siraj's delivery proved costly, allowing Sri Lanka to maintain momentum in their chase.

The dropped catch and consecutive ducks have led to an outpouring of reactions on social media, with memes and jokes flooding various platforms. While some fans expressed disappointment, others used humour to cope with the situation, creating a wave of viral content.

For Samson, the series has been a challenging one, as he has struggled to capitalize on his opportunities. None the less, Samson is a class player as he has shown time and again. Samson will continue to be the Indian cricket team's future plans.
