S Sreesanth and Samson have shared a close cricketing connection for more than a decade. Sreesanth played a mentor-like role in Samson's early career and handed him his Kerala debut cap before helping him take a step towards the Indian Premier League.
When Samson was looking for an IPL opportunity, Sreesanth took him to the Rajasthan Royals trials in Jaipur. He also made sure head coach Rahul Dravid watched the youngster closely, telling him that Samson had hit six sixes in an over.
That move helped Samson earn an IPL contract and became an important moment in his early career. Sreesanth has continued to support Samson over the years, including speaking out when the wicketkeeper-batter missed out on India selection.
Sreesanth also faced a temporary suspension from the Kerala Cricket Association after strongly criticising state officials on television following Samson's omission from domestic squads.
Thrissur Titans Win Maiden KCL Title
Thrissur Titans claimed their maiden Kerala Cricket League title with a thrilling four-wicket victory over Calicut Globstars in the final. Chasing 168, Titans captain M.S. Akhil sealed the win with a six off Ibnul Afthab over deep square leg in the final over.
Ahammed Imran played a key role in the chase with 69 runs and shared an 87-run partnership with concussion substitute Sanjeev Satheesan. Globstars briefly fought back when Jose Perayil picked up quick wickets in the 16th over, but Akhil's unbeaten 19 off 11 balls took Thrissur over the line.
Earlier, Calicut Globstars posted 167/9 after opting to bat first. Akhil Scaria top-scored with 45, while Aswin Anand contributed 40. However, Titans' left-arm medium pacer Abdul Ramees bowled an effective death-overs spell and restricted Globstars to just 50 runs in the final six overs.
