After stellar form with the bat, former India batting star Vinod Kambli has openly challenged the youngster to either score a hundred in the ongoing edition or to hold on to the 'orange cap' that he currently owns. After issuing the challenge, the former India cricketer received lot of flak on Twitter from Samson fan’s. He was also involved in
several arguments with fans and replied to some individually.
Samson is all likely to lose the orange cap as he is closely followed by SunRisers Hyderabad skipper Kane Williamson, who will be playing against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday night.
The SRH captain has so fr cored 230 runs in five matches this season and is currently 10 runs short to take the 'orange cap' away from the Kerala youngster.
