Tharoor has always been a constant supporter of Samson and has been vocal socially about his talent, credibility, and potential. Thiruvananthapuram MP has oftentimes touted Samson to be the "next MS Dhoni".

What an absolutely incredible win for @rajasthanroyals ! I’ve known @iamSanjuSamson for a decade & told him when he was 14 that he would one day be the next MS Dhoni. Well, that day is here. After his two amazing innings in this IPL you know a world class player has arrived.

Sanju Samson had his fair bit of off-the-form period, he recently featured in the T20I series against Ireland but has not been picked for the 2nd and 3rd T20I slated against England.
