Analyzing Sanju Samson’s Possible Destinations: CSK, KKR, and Delhi Capitals

Should Sanju Samson consider joining CSK? If traded to Chennai Super Kings, Samson could potentially succeed MS Dhoni as the wicketkeeper and take on his role. However, will Samson want to join a team without being captain? CSK appointed Ruturaj Gaikwad as captain two seasons ago, grooming him as a future leader. Therefore, the franchise is unlikely to replace him with Samson, making a move to CSK less appealing for Samson. Analyzing the current structures of all ten IPL teams, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) seems to be a favorable option for Samson. If Rajasthan trades their captain to KKR, it would benefit both teams. Kolkata needs a captain and a wicketkeeper, roles Samson can fill. Samson’s arrival could solve three problems for KKR.
