On the one hand, there’s an evergreen cricket legend, an inspiration for countless- whether past or current crop of players.
And then there’s an ever important current giver of strength to the Indian batting unit. Where there’s MS Dhoni, now, there’s also Sanju Samson and the duo are ready to kick up a storm with good performances come the IPL 2026, which isn’t too far away anymore.
For the first time in the IPL’s storied history, Sanju Samson and MS Dhoni will share a dressing room, with the duo set to represent the Chennai Super Kings from this season onward. The two were recently spotted training together at Chepauk in Chennai. Samson described the moment as destiny playing its part, expressing his excitement about sharing a dressing room with Dhoni for the next two months.
The duo recently trained together at Chepauk, with Samson calling it destiny that he’ll spend two months alongside Dhoni.
And what can also be said with quiet confidence is that there seems to be an atmosphere marked by quiet dignity and absolute warmth where it comes to the cricketing duo.
While MS Dhoni’s own presence lends a legendary status to the Indian Premier League, perhaps even more so where it comes to this brand new 2026 edition, this season perhaps billed to be his last, Sanju Samson on the other hand, will be buzzing with confidence. And how is that?
At the back of his recent hot and blazing batting form punctuated by no fewer than 321 runs at a strike rate that was north of 175 with 3 fifties to his name, Samson is in red hot form with the willow. He will be expected to create a splash of yellow splendour for a team that’s as popular as it is widely regarded. One, that lest we forget, is raring to go big again!
