Malayalees support Sanju in Qatar World Cup; Rajasthan Royals shared photos
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 sat in the gallery and held up 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 match. Many people came to watch the match with posters containing pictures of Sanju.
The posters have slogans like “Give justice to Sanju and stop neglect”. As the protest got stronger, it got a lot of media attention.
The protest is against Sanju’s ban 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 Sanju replaced Deepak Hooda because he did not want a sixth bowler.

At the same time, there are fears that Sanju’s protests could backfire on the actor. Even if Sanju has no role in this fan action, there is also the question of whether the star will cause displeasure to the board.
Some of the fans are also planning to hold 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.
