Sanju Samson is considered to be of very calm nature, but a different side of him was seen in the match held on Monday. He got into a heated argument with Heinrich Klaasen. Klaasen has also rarely been seen in aggression on the field, so the anger of these two legends was surprising. However, both of them did not take the fight further, but instead ended it by showing respect for each other.
This argument between Sanju Samson and Heinrich Klaasen took place in the 15th over of Sunrisers Hyderabad’s innings. Sanju Samson stumped the ball of Noor Ahmed with agility, Klaasen’s leg was in the air and he was given out. When Clasen was going out, a heated argument was seen between the two. Both the players were saying something angrily to each other, during which Noor, Shivam Dubey and the umpire were trying to calm the matter.
