Sanju Samson and CSK just dropped a video that got CSK fans buzzing everywhere. He’s wearing the yellow jersey now. The Kerala wicketkeeper-batter moved from the Rajasthan Royals to the Chennai Super Kings recently.
Sanju Samson’s Emotional First Look
Samson said the bright yellow CSK jersey made him feel different immediately. He’s worn dark colours throughout his career until now. The yellow brought a whole new energy to him.
“I felt like a champion,” Sanju Samson said in the video. Those words tell you everything about his mindset. He’s grateful for this opportunity with CSK. The franchise’s winning culture clearly attracted him.
“I have been waiting for this day and I am very fortunate that I am going to wear the yellow jersey. As I said, I’ve always been wearing dark colours like black, blue, brown, but yellow, definitely, great feeling to wear that jersey.
“Honestly, I never thought about how I would feel wearing the CSK jersey. I felt very positive and happy, felt very different. A different energy comes while wearing that jersey. I felt like a champion, I felt like ‘ok wow!’,” Samson said in the video.
CSK paid INR 18 crore to bring Samson aboard for IPL 2026. That’s serious money and shows their faith in him. Meanwhile, Ravindra Jadeja went to RR for INR 14 crore. Sam Curran moved there too for INR 2.4 crore.
End of an Eleven-Year Journey
Sanju Samson spent eleven seasons with the Rajasthan Royals overall. That’s a long time with one franchise. He became their most important player over those years. RR was banned for two seasons, but Samson remained loyal otherwise.
However, Samson wanted fresh challenges now apparently. He felt the need for something new in his career. CSK’s future vision matched what he was looking for.
What CSK Gets in Return
CSK is getting a quality top-order batsman for IPL 2026. Samson will strengthen their batting lineup significantly. His wicketkeeping skills add extra value too.
The CSK jersey suits Samson perfectly already. Yellow looks like it was made for him. He’ll bat alongside legends like MS Dhoni this season.
CSK fans are excited about having Samson in their squad. He brings youth, energy, and proven match-winning ability. IPL 2026 can’t come soon enough for everyone. Sanju Samson in yellow? That’s going to be special to watch!
