Ruturaj Gaikwad Reveals How He Lured Sanju Samson to CSK

Chennai Super Kings' captain Ruturaj Gaikwad has spilled the beans on how he convinced star batter Sanju Samson to join the yellow brigade ahead of IPL 2026. In a recent interview, Gaikwad shared how Samson was genuinely curious about the CSK culture and environment, which ultimately led to the trade.

With Sanju now donning the CSK jersey, the mini auction saw Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran moving to Rajasthan Royals, shaking up team dynamics. This shift is set to change the landscape of the tournament as CSK gears up to kick off their campaign against Rajasthan.

Expect fireworks as the two teams clash, with Samson looking to make an immediate impact in his new colours. The anticipation is palpable, and fans are buzzing for the season ahead!
