<p>Samson, who scored a match-winning 89 in the final vs NZ and was named Player of the Tournament, Instagrammed this picture, holding the Player of the Tournament award with Charulatha, to his 17 million followers and captioned it: &ldquo;Right from the day I met you, till this day of my life, thank you so very much for being by my side, loving me for who&nbsp;</p>
<p>I am and being absolutely true and honest to me no matter what I was to the outside world. Seeing my best side, seeing my worst side&hellip; you have seen it all and still stood strong by me. Thank you for understanding how big cricket is in my life and making it the same for you. You have wished and dreamed with the same passion and intensity for this moment. Thank you so very much my dear.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>
<p>The post received over four million &lsquo;likes&rsquo; within hours. Samson first met Charulatha &mdash; an entrepreneur &mdash; during their college days, but they only began dating later after reconnecting on social media. They tied the knot in December 2018.</p>
