Samson sanju

Chennai Super Kings: Former Australian skipper Aaron Finch impressed how Samson Sanju settled into his new team and said the wicketkeeper-batter is the superstar Chennai Super Kings have been waiting for to be in their arsenal.

Samson, who was traded in from Rajasthan Royals at the cost of Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran, started IPL 2026 with three single-digit scores, all of which were part of losses for his new franchise.

The wicketkeeper-batter then turned things around and has three fifty-plus scores in seven innings since, including a match-winning 87 not out off 52 balls against Delhi Capitals (DC) on a tricky pitch on Tuesday.
