New Delhi, March 20 -- Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Friday praised Indian cricketer Sanju Samson for his stellar performances in the recent T20 World Cup and described him as the "greatest product of Vizhinjam," the Kerala town where Samson was born.

Speaking to ANI, Tharoor called Samson a modest, focused and terrific young man and credits his community for the role in his remarkable World Cup campaign.

"He is a terrific young man. Very modest, very focused, and very good. He's a credit to the strong community he comes from, which is a fishing community of Vizhinjam in my constituency. Today, we have a big port in Vizhinjam, but the greatest export, the greatest product of Vizhinjam, is still Sanju Samson," said Tharoor.
