Sanju Samson, who was his “cricketing idol”, during a recent discussion with former sprout Ravichandran Ashwin, in his popular chat “Kutti Stories with Ash” on YouTube.
Almost every modern nights of Wicketkeeper would name Mrs. Dhoni or Adam Gilchrist if they were asked to nominate his inspiration, but this was not the case with Sanju Samson.

Both Dhoni and Gilchrist have been considered two of the greatest goal blows the game has ever seen. However, Samson has chosen an unknown name regarding the role he plays in the international and national cricket when he spoke of his Cricket inspiration.
Your daily dose of cricket!
Samson left the fans and even Ashwin was surprised by choosing Rohit Sharma as his “Cricket’s Time” on the old YouTube program in India “Kutti Stories with Ash”. He was very impressed with Rohit’s quiet approach and effortless battle style.
Sanju Samson rests Vaibhav Suryavanshi as a future star
In addition, when Ashwin asked him which current player excites him the most to see, Sanju dropped another unexpected name, and it is none other than the 14 -year -old sensation of Vaibhavanshi. He shared the Rajasthan Royals dressing room at IPL 2025 with Samson.
The left -handed workshop impressed Samson so much that he believes that the young feeling is the one to see for the future. Vaibhav debuted in the IPL earlier this year and played seven games, scoring 252 runs to an average of 36 and an incredible strike rate of more than 206.
Kris Srikkanth supports Sanju Samson as “perfect” successor of Mrs. Dhoni to CSK
Meanwhile, rumors on Sanju Samson are possibly commercialized before the next season IPL have been the headlines in recent weeks after their disappointing campaign of 2025.
In the midst of the conversation that linked Samson to the Super Kings of Chennai, the former India Baters Kris Srikkanth considered it to be an ideal way for the franchise of filling the massive shoes of its iconic captain, Mrs. Dhoni.
The former Indian selector and the winner of the 1983 World Cup has praised Samson as “bright player” with a strong popularity in Chennai and the best man replaced by Ms. Dhoni. He suggested that Dhoni could play one more season, but he believes that Ruturaj Gaikwad should continue as captain.
Ruturaj Gaikwad should continue as CSK Captain: Kris Srikkanth
Srikkanth said to his YouTube channel: “Dhoni can play this season, maybe not the following year, and then you can have a good transition. But I think if Ruturaj Gaikwad has received the captaincy, it should continue.”
However, Srikkanth said that the Rajasthan Royals must try to keep Samson, especially since they started the New Mega auction cycle this year with the team built around them. In particular, Samson, along with Yasse Jaiswal, was one of RR’s main delays at the IPL 2025 mega auction.
