Former Chennai Super Kings dough Subramaniam Badrinath suggested that the ongoing rumors of Sanju Samson about the potential departure of Rajasthan Royals can be associated with the captain – specifically franchise that could look back Riyan Parag for this role.
News have appeared before that the goalkeeper is looking for a step elsewhere. According to Cricbuzz, the rise of the introductory duo Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Suryavanki pushed Samson into slot no. When he spoke on his YouTube channel, the former Indian cricket suggested that it might be A great reason for the possible departure of Samson From the franchise, where he played ten years.
Badrinath asked, “I feel that Riyan Parag is a reason. If you consider him a captain, as you expect someone like Samson, will stay?”
When Samson lifted the side tribe last season, he expelled him to some matches, Riyyan took Parag as a captain. However, the season ended badly, while the franchise ended with the ninth point on the point table.
If Samson goes to CSK, where is it suitable?
Another big question asked by former cricket Chennai concerns Samson’s place in the game XI if the CSK trade took place. Badrinath admitted that Samson would be an ideal replacement for Dhoni, but launching below after the order may not suit his game.
Currently, the highest and middle order of CSK contains Ayush Mhatre, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Dewald Brevis and Shivam Dube – raising questions about where Samson could fit if he did the switch.
“If Sanju Samson comes to CSK, then he could be a similar substitute for Mrs. Dhoni. Samson is a dough that can burn in the first three or four places in the launch. It is someone to fit in number five or six points in playing XI. CSK is strong in those playing XI. is settled.
“I’m not sure if CSK would make a transaction like me to get a Hardik Pandya from GT. So even if Sanju Samson comes, the question remains whether CSK can play XI,” he added.
