Professionally, Samson has been in decent touch in the domestic season. He recently represented the nation in the Sri Lanka series and will hope to continue his form in the upcoming Bangladesh T20Is if selected. The 29-year-old captains Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and will have a headache with the mega-auction in the next few months.
Onam significance
The 10-day Kerala festival celebrates the harvest season and the return of King Mahabali. The natives engage in traditional dances like Kathakali and Pulikali with several boat races also taking place. It all culminates with the grand Onasadya feast on Thiruvonam. In 2024, the festival was celebrated from September 6 to September 15.
The festival is also known for symbolising the spirit of togetherness as families and communities come together to participate in various events. Although it is a Hindu festival but is celebrated by all the communities in the southern state, which makes it a secular and inclusive festival.
