The Rajasthan Royals (RR) management traded their former captain to the Chennai-based franchise. To secure Samson, the Chennai management released star all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran. Both players will represent the Jaipur-based franchise in the upcoming marquee tournament.
"CSK is a big franchise and there will be a lot of expectations from Samson. I think it is going to be Sanju Samson era that begins for CSK. He is coming to the team in great form and confidence. It is a big positive. I think he is going to be the backbone," he said on his YouTube channel.

The Chennai Super Kings will start their new campaign against the Rajasthan Royals on March 29 at the ACA Stadium in Guwahati. Badrinath said that there will be an emotional factor for the newly traded players facing their former teammates.
"I feel a player always has some light thing in them for their former franchise. Playing against them, he (Sanju) will want to do well. Like why did you leave me and make Riyan Parag captain. Look, I am playing for CSK now and will play against you. He will have that in his mind, same thing for Jadeja. He will want to show CSK for leaving him. So it will be a proper match," he expressed.
