Malayalees support Sanju at Qatar World Cup; Rajasthan Royals shared pictures
Many times, fans have protested against the suspension of Malayalee player Sanju Samson from Indian cricket. Now, videos and pictures of Malayalee fans who came to support the star at the Qatar World Cup are circulating on social media.
In all the three matches held yesterday, the fans were sitting in the gallery and raising signs supporting Sanju. Rajasthan Royals, Sanju’s club in the IPL, shared these pictures on Twitter.

The reason for the increase in the scope of the protest is that many Malayalees come to watch the game. Many people came to watch the game with posters containing pictures of Sanju.
The posters have slogans such as “Give justice to Sanju and stop neglect”. As the protest got stronger, the media got a lot of attention.
The protest is against Sanju’s exclusion from the ODI against New Zealand.
The star was dropped from the starting XI after scoring 36 runs off 38 balls in the last match. Captain Shikhar Dhawan claims that Deepak Hooda was replaced by Sanju because he did not want a sixth bowler.

At the same time, there is concern that the protests for Sanju may backfire on the actor. Even if Sanju has no role in this act of fans, there is also a question whether the star will cause displeasure to the board.
Some of the fans are also planning to stage stronger protests at the World Cup venues. In the coming days, some of the fans are planning to visit the galleries wearing clothes with pictures of Sanju.
