Samson represented the Rajasthan Royals across 11 seasons before the franchise traded him to the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). In exchange for the star wicketkeeper, the Rajasthan Royals acquired England all-rounder Sam Curran alongside veteran Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja for the marquee tournament.
“Sanju’s game is unique; he cannot be compared to anyone else. It is like asking, ‘Who is Virat Kohli’s replacement?’ — it simply isn’t possible. However, every player plays to win, and everyone has different capabilities,” Parag said.
We Were Losing Matches in the Final Stages - Riyan Parag
“We were losing matches in the final stages. Had we played with more freedom — or managed to hit a boundary at a crucial moment, or prevented the opposition from doing so — we would have progressed further. This time, we are addressing and rectifying those mistakes,” Parag stated.
“We have a good combination of spin and pace bowlers. In batting too, there is a proper mix of right- and left-handers. We have high expectations from Ravindra Jadeja; he is a magnificent all-rounder. Regardless of the venue, there’s always a mixed crowd. We tune out the noise and focus on our game. Our goal is to perform well, wherever we play.”
