Will the Kerala superstar wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson take over the captaincy of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) after joining the squad of the five-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champions?
This question was on the minds of the fans ever since the Rajasthan Royals (RR) traded their skipper, Sanju Samson, to the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), and the franchise has finally broken its silence on the matter.
Not Sanju Samson! Ruturaj Gaikwad to lead CSK
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) pulled off one of the biggest trades in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL) by roping in the star wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson.
Samson, who had a successful stint with the Rajasthan Royals (RR), asked for his release from the franchise due to some differences. After his request, RR started looking for a potential trade with the Indian Premier League (IPL) teams and, in the end, signed a deal with Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
They traded Samson to CSK, which will be the third franchise of his career for INR 18 crore, and in exchange roped in Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran.
Meanwhile, there were speculations that Samson would also get the CSK captaincy following the blockbuster trade, but that is not going to happen as Ruturaj Gaikwad will continue in the role.
"LEAD THE WAY, CAPTAIN RUTURAJ GAIKWAD #WhistlePodu," the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) posted on X, confirming that they would not make any changes to the captaincy.
