Sanju Samson Expected to Strengthen Chennai Super Kings' Opening Batting in IPL 2026

Former cricketer Piyush Chawla believes Sanju Samson's inclusion in Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for IPL 2026 will address the team's longstanding opening batting challenges. Samson, coming off strong performances in the recent ICC T20 World Cup, is expected to complement young opener Ayush Mhatre. Chawla highlights that the Chennai pitch suits Samson's aggressive style, which could help CSK secure quicker starts in the powerplay, improving their overall batting performance.
