New Delhi: India's cricket team is eagerly preparing for the upcoming five-match T20 series against England, scheduled to start on February 22. The first match will take place at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. The team is leaving no stone unturned to ensure a successful opening game, and amidst the hustle-bustle, fans are delighted to witness a heartening moment between star wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson and assistant coach Abhishek Nayar. The duo was seen singing together in perfect harmony, and the fantastic performance soon went viral on social media, leaving fans swooning over their camaraderie.
Sanju Samson and Abhishek Nayar’s Musical Moment
In the video, Sanju and coach Abhishek Nayar can be seen singing the song “Udata Hi Phirun In Hawaon Mein Kahin” in an impressive manner. Their performance caught the attention of Suryakumar Yadav, who jokingly responded, saying, “You both are coming to Mumbai.” However, before they could come to Mumbai, Suryakumar added a fun condition in a lighthearted manner. Sanju Samson shared the video on his Instagram, with a caption that read, “Nothing is impossible,” and asked, “Can I come to Mumbai?”
