Sanju Samson was traded from RR for his fees of INR 18 Crores.
Samson will wear the famed Chennai yellow in the forthcoming season of the lucrative T20 franchise league for his current salary of Rs 18 crore and is regarded as a spiritual successor to CSK veteran MS Dhoni, who is in his twilight years as a player.
CSK have traded veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and England’s Sam Curran in the trade to the Rajasthan Royals to get Sanju Samson from them.
CSK announced the arrival of Sanju Samson in a Superstar-esque fashion, with a clip that also involved Mollywood star Basil Joseph. Samson has reiterated his fondness for Superstar Rajnikanth, and the video featured a photo of Samson with the great actor.
“Varavendiya nerathula correct ah varuven, (Will arrive at the right moment) Presenting Sanju Samson in," the CSK’s post read on social media.
The caption is taken from the blockbuster Rajni movie, Muthu (1995), while the setting of the announcement video was set to the music stylings of yet another Rajni film, 'Petta’.
