Cricket fans are showing strong support for their teams in the ongoing 2026 Indian Premier League. The Chennai Super Kings, known for their loyal fan base called the ‘Yellow Army’, have found a new star in Sanju Samson. Under new leadership in 2024, the team has faced challenges. However, Samson’s impact at the top of the order has brought a new dimension to their batting, turning their season around after a shaky start.

Initially, the trade deal that brought Samson to CSK for INR 18 crore seemed questionable, as he struggled in his first few matches. However, a breakthrough century changed the course of his and the team’s campaign. Samson’s struggles and resilience have shaped his mindset and made him a better batter at 31 years old. Despite facing challenges in the international arena, he continues to prove himself with his performances.

Former player Mohammad Kaif praised Samson’s adaptability and experience, highlighting his ability to excel in difficult conditions. With CSK now sixth on the table, they rely on Samson’s fiery form to turn their campaign around and secure a top-four spot.
