Sadagoppan Ramesh Urges CSK to Consider Sanju Samson as Next Captain
Former India cricketer Sadagoppan Ramesh has suggested that Chennai Super Kings (CSK) consider Sanju Samson as their next captain, replacing Ruturaj Gaikwad after three consecutive seasons without playoff qualification. Ramesh highlighted Samson's leadership experience with Rajasthan Royals, where he captained 66 matches with a 50% win rate. While acknowledging that captaincy change alone won't guarantee success, experts like Subramaniam Badrinath also support freeing Gaikwad from leadership to improve his batting performance.
