As can be seen in the clip above, Arshdeep puts his arm around Sanju and says, "paaji, justic mil gaya (brother, you got justice)". 

What Is The Sanju Samson-Justice Connection?

The phrase “Justice for Sanju Samson” often trended on social media whenever the wicketkeeper-batter was left out of the India's squad or playing XI.

It was only after the retirements of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma that Sanju Samson finally secured a regular place in the team, but after a low-scoring run in bilaterals preceeding the T20 World Cup, Samson was dropped from the lineup.

However, he was given another shot late during the tournament when Abhishek Sharma was struggling at the top, and this time, he grabbed the opportunity with both hands. 

Sanju Samsons made a solid comeback with an unbeaten 97 against the West Indies in what was a virtual quarter final. In the semi-final against England, he was dropped early, and then went on to score 89 off 42, for which he was adjudged Player of the Match.

Then in the Final against New Zealand, Sanju Samson scored 89 yet again, this time off 46 deliveries, putting India in a good position to post a daunting total on the board.
