Barbados: Every time the Indian cricket team won the World Cup, there was a Malayali in the team as a lucky player. This routine has not changed even as India enters the third T20 World Cup final today. If Sanju Samson joins the team, the happiness of the Malayali fans will double.
Wherever you go in the world, there will be a Malayali there. This is also the case with the Indian team in the Cricket World Cup. There is no history of India winning the World Cup without a Malayalam player. Sreesanth’s catch was the first T20 title for India in the 2007 T20 World Cup. Even when India lifted the trophy in the 2011 ODI World Cup, Sreesanth became a Malayalee presence in the team. Sreesanth was also there to bowl in the final.
World title, Team India and Malayali This winning combo started in 1983. When Kapil’s Devils knocked the Windies to their knees at Lord’s, Sunil Valson was the Malayalam presence in the team despite not playing a single match. As a continuation of this history, this time our very own Sanju Sasamon is in the team as a Malayali from India.

In this World Cup, Sanju has not got a chance to play in the playing eleven yet. When Shivam Dubey continues to disappoint in the middle row, the Malayalees have hope that Sanju might get a chance in the final. Under Dhoni’s captaincy, Yusuf Pathan made his World Cup debut in the final in place of the injured Virender Sehwag when India defeated Pakistan in 2007. Malayalees are eager to know whether this kind of luck will come to Sanju. Whether he plays in the playing eleven or not, it is certain that the Malayali will be the lucky player of Team India.
