Only once he didn't time the ball, and that led to his downfall. On the 5th ball of the 8th over, Mehidy Hasan bowled in-drifter to which Sanju Samson backed away and had a hoick at it. The length was not right to play that shot as it was not that full.

Sanju Samson ended up dragging it off the inner half towards deep mid-wicket where Rishad Hossain took an easy catch. What caught the attention of many was the reaction of the keeper-batter after he got out. He was left frustrated and the video went viral.

After three long years, it was emotional for me - Varun Chakaravarthy

He said that it was rebirth for him and mentioned that he focuses on the process. He also added that he works a lot with Ravichandran Ashwin in TNPL and playing in the tournament helped him. He added:

After three long years, it was emotional for me. Feels nice to be back in the Blues. It feels like a rebirth, I just want to stick to the process, that's what I have been following in the IPL as well, I don't want to go beyond what's there and I just want to stay in the present, that's why I don't want to think too much or express too much.

After IPL, I played a few tournaments, and one of those was TNPL; it's a very good tournament and a high standard as well. That's a place where I work a lot with Ash (Ashwin) bhai also; we won the championship as well, Which gave me confidence here. It was a good preparation for me for this series.
