Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta Appoints Sanju Samson as Brand Ambassador for Skill Development Center

New Delhi, September 18 (Daily Kiran) : Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta met with Indian cricket star and wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson on Friday. During this meeting, she announced that Samson would serve as the brand ambassador for the ‘Jan Kaushal Kendra’ in Motinagar.

In a post on social media platform X, CM Gupta expressed, “Sanju has a special connection to Delhi, where he spent his formative years and launched his cricket career. As the appointed brand ambassador for the Jan Kaushal Kendra, he will inspire Delhi’s youth towards skill development, opportunities, and self-reliance.” The event was also attended by local MLA Harish Khurana, along with senior members from the Trinity Foundation and IACT Education.

Samson recently showcased his exceptional talent in the T20 International series against Afghanistan. After a lackluster performance in the first match, he bounced back with impressive innings in the second and third games. In the second T20, he scored a blistering 57 runs off just 22 balls, hitting seven fours and four sixes.

His performance continued to shine in the third T20, where he contributed 50 runs off 35 balls. Together with Abhishek Sharma, he formed a formidable partnership, accumulating 142 runs for the first wicket in just 9.5 overs. Sharma made history by scoring the fastest T20 International century for full-member countries, reaching his hundred in just 30 balls. The Indian team set a target of 221 runs, losing seven wickets, while Afghanistan was bowled out for a mere 94 runs, giving India a clean sweep of the series at 3-0.

This year has been remarkable for Sanju Samson. He played a pivotal role in leading the Indian team to victory in the 2026 T20 World Cup, scoring 321 runs across five matches and earning the ‘Player of the Tournament’ title.
