Sanju Samson is gearing for his debut for the Chennai Super Kings ahead of the IPL 2026 season. Speaking at the India Today conclave, Samson hailed MS Dhoni and was excited to join the CSK side. Sanju's 97 was a talking point, with a particular reference to how he took the game deep and finished the chase off, something MS Dhoni was known for.
When quizzed if it was the MS Dhoni effect ahead of his CSK debut, Samson hilariously pointed to the victory margin of India's semi-final at the Wankhede, where Dhoni was in attendance.
"Woh match bhi hum 7 run se jeete hai," Samson said in a video that has now gone viral.
