Ravichandran Ashwin is becoming nearly as good a content creator as he’s a cricketer. On Friday (August 8), just when the rumors about his move away from Chennai Super Kings and Sanju Samson’s likely impending departure from Rajasthan Royals were gathering steam, he released the trailer of their meet-up and interview.
In it, Ashwin gives hints concerning the deal, and the video has swiftly gone viral. Ashwin also offered to trade himself if Samson could ‘travel back to Chennai’. Even though it was unclear what precisely the duo was talking about, Samson just couldn’t stop laughing on the tease without uttering a word.
“I actually have lots of inquiries to ask,” Ashwin said within the video. “But before that, I assumed I’ll come directly and trade myself. I’m pleased to remain back in Kerala. There are lots of rumours happening. Neither do I do know of anything. So, I assumed I’ll reach out to you and ask you. If I can stay back in Kerala and you’ll be able to travel back to Chennai,” he added.
Reports first emerged about Samson and RR a few days ago. It was said that he has conveyed it to RR that he wants to go away the team on account of some differences.
CSK were said to be the front-runners courting him, though it was said that RR would demand a few players in exchange for letting Samson go on to them. The opposite option could be Samson being released and going into the auction, which is able to mean it’ll be out of CSK’s hands to sign him.
On Friday, reports got here out saying that Ashwin wanted to go away CSK, too. Skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad and the legendary face of the franchise, MS Dhoni, are in Chennai discussing concerning the team’s plans, and there’s likelihood that the Rs 9.75 crore-signed Ashwin is released this yr.
It will be interesting to see if Ashwin, who has played for RR previously, may very well be an element of the deal.
