Big Changes in CSK: Sanju Samson Reportedly Accepts Deal, Is This Dhoni’s Final IPL Chapter?

Sanju Samson’s move to Chennai Super Kings for the next IPL season is now in the final stage, as per reports. Sources say that an official announcement will be made soon. For the past few weeks, rumours about the Rajasthan Royals captain’s transfer have been a hot topic among fans.

Sanju Samson’s move to Chennai Super Kings is now very close. Reports say that the deal is in the final stage, and an official announcement may come soon. For the last few weeks, there have been many talks about Sanju leaving Rajasthan Royals. Now, this news is getting stronger.

It will be difficult for Chennai to buy Sanju in the player auction, as many teams may offer high prices for him. That’s why CSK is trying to sign him during the trading window. This way, they can get him before the auction starts.

CSK Plans to Trade Ashwin and Dubey

Kolkata Knight Riders also wanted Sanju, as they need a wicketkeeper, a top-order batsman, and a new captain. Sanju can do all three jobs well. But now, KKR has backed out, which has made things easier for CSK.

As per reports, CSK and Rajasthan Royals have reached a deal. Chennai may give Ravichandran Ashwin and Shivam Dubey in return. Royals also asked for Ravindra Jadeja, but CSK refused. Jadeja is an all-rounder, and CSK wants to keep him.

Sanju’s current salary is Rs 18 crore. Ashwin earns Rs 9.75 crore, and Dubey earns Rs 12 crore. CSK is ready to trade both to match Sanju’s value.

Ashwin did not play well for CSK, so they want to release him. Dubey is a good batsman but not great at fielding or bowling. CSK thinks they can buy another hitter in the auction. Sanju may not be made captain in CSK. He may get the vice-captain role, as CSK wants to keep Ruturaj Gaikwad as captain.
