Sanju Samson is poised to embark on his new IPL adventure with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in 2026. The IPL veteran has transitioned to the Yellow Army from Rajasthan Royals (RR) through a trade. Samson, who served as the captain of RR from IPL 2021 to 2025, was anticipated to be appointed as CSK's new captain. However, he will remain under the leadership of Ruturaj Gaikwad.

In a conversation with CSK, Samson expressed his desire to play alongside his "good friend" Ruturaj. This announcement came just days after CSK confirmed that Ruturaj will continue to helm the team. "Rutu is a good friend of mine. He is the Captain and I want to play under his captaincy. I want to be with him as a leader," he told CSK.
