While there has been no formal communication between the Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings franchises, reports suggest that the latter would be open to signing Sanju Samson.
The talented cricketer from Kerala was inexplicably traded out of the Rajasthan Royals camp ahead of the 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League.
The move had surprised many, given that the 29-year-old was RR's longest-serving player, having represented the franchise since 2013, and was seen to be a leader of the young squad.
Now, however, it appears that the CSK franchise is willing to offer the talented cricketer a place in their team.
While CSK is yet to make an official announcement, insiders claim that the decision to adopt a flexible approach is likely due to the fact that their former captain and batting mainstay, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, might be mentoring the side rather than playing, leaving a void that Samson could potentially fill.
Samson has been in red-hot form in the ongoing ODI series against New Zealand, amassing an impressive 136 runs from just three matches, including two centuries and a fifty.
If the reports are true, the move would be a mutually beneficial partnership, with CSK keen to welcome back Dhoni in a mentoring capacity and Samson eager to take the opportunity to demonstrate his prowess on the big stage.
Only time will tell if the speculated move materialises, but one thing is for certain: Sanju Samson's career is poised to reach new heights -- and CSK fans have every reason to be excited.
