Sanju Samson Shows Support for Ruturaj Gaikwad After Setback
Ruturaj Gaikwad has not been able to do well in the Indian Premier League 2026. While Samson is doing well for CSK with the bat, Gaikwad’s comeback is also awaited by the fans. Amidst this, Sanju Samson has backed his captain to perform well when the team needs it.
Chennai Super Kings have regained their winning momentum in the Indian Premier League. With a push in the standings, Chennai also aims to rank up among the top teams. But for this to happen, it is also necessary for them to have their captain Ruturaj Gaikwad in his best form.
He has not been able to do well for the team, despite opening for them in this season. The same also went for Sanju Samson, who was able to score just 22 runs for the team in the first three games. But now Samson has regained his form, as Gaikwad still struggles to score runs for the team while opening for them.
After the match against Mumbai Indians, Gaikwad still ended up with another low score this season. While the match ended in CSK's favour, Gaikwad needed some backing to ensure that he would come back stronger. And this was given to him by Sanju Samson, who believes that Gaikwad will perform when the team needs it the most.
Our Take
Ruturaj Gaikwad has been one of the key batters for Chennai Super Kings. Although he has not been able to perform well in this tournament, it doesn't mean that his contributions to the team have been minimal. The tournament is just halfway done for CSK, as the team waits for its upcoming matches to ensure that Gaikwad is able to find his rhythm back. Moreover, he was one of the key batsmen when the team won the IPL 2021 season, as he also took the Orange Cap.
