'I Haven't Missed Two Tons, 97 Not Out & 89 Were Big Deal': Samson Plays Down Missing Two Centuries
After Sanju Samson: After Sanju Samson produced yet another masterclass with the bat as India defeated England in a high-scoring thriller by seven runs to enter the final of the 2026 T20 World Cup, the wicketkeeper batter remained unfazed about narrowly missing out on a century for the second time in the tournament. After hitting a match-winning unbeaten 97 runs off 50 balls to help India defeat the West Indies and reach the 2026 T20 World Cup semi-finals, Samson followed this up with another stunning 89 runs against England in the semifinal as India became the first team to enter the T20 World Cup final as defending champions. I did not miss two centuries. I have made 97 and 89 - it is a very big thing, Samson said of his back-to-back match-winning innings during the post-match presser. Samson will play his first World Cup final on Sunday against New Zealand in Ahmedabad, which the wicketkeeper batter called one of the best moments of his life. It means one of the best moments in my life. I'm very grateful for that. I have been playing this format for a very long time. I played around 300 or 400 T20s (328). I played from one to six (in the batting order). I have captained the (IPL) franchise (Rajasthan Royals). So I have the experience of knowing what does a team demand at the moment and what is my exact role in this XI. So that clarity definitely helps you to score runs the way you want to, he said. Samson was not considered a certain starter for the tournament after enduring a lean run during the home T20I series against New Zealand. Ishan Kishan initially opened the batting with Abhishek Sharma at the start of the World Cup, but the team management later reshuffled the order. Samson was promoted to open the innings, while Kishan was moved to No. 3 to provide stability as Abhishek struggled to find form during the tournament. It was a very, very challenging period. I definitely wanted to come and do what I'm trying to do now for the country, wanted to win games in the World Cup, but I was trying a bit too much in the New Zealand series, he said. I wanted to make an impact and get into the XI of the World Cup here, but you know this format - this (T20) cricket can get very funny. Even the best in the world actually struggle to score runs in this format. So I had to respect the game. I had to work a bit more on my basics, said Samson.

IPL 2026: The "Identity Swap" Debate, Sanju in Yellow, Jadeja in Pink
As we build up to the 2026 edition of the Indian Premier League, we will have a look at key personnel changes and how the teams shape up ahead of the season. In this analytical preview, David Warner and Eoin Morgan - Chief Cricket Analysts, Parimatch Sports, two of the game’s most respected cricket minds - deliver a comprehensive breakdown of the makeup of the 10 IPL teams. Ravindra Jadeja and Sanju Samson served their respective sides well over the last decade Eoin Morgan, Chief Cricket Analysts Parimatch Sports Eoin Morgan Shares Expert Insight on IPL 2026’s Biggest Trade Shock The 2026 IPL mini-auction had a lot of surprises in store for the fans, but the biggest surprise was unfurled even before the auction started as the Rajasthan Royals decided to trade Sanju Samson for Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran from Chennai Super Kings, allowing all three players a new lease of life in the IPL. Samson served as the skipper for the Royals for five years between 2021 and 2025, helping the inaugural IPL champions reach the final for the first time since 2008 in his second year of captaincy. The right-handed top-order batter is also the all-time leading run-scorer for RR but the emergence of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi made the RR side very top-heavy with Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sooryavanshi, Dhruv Jurel, Riyan Parag, and Shimron Hetmyer vying for the top four spots in the batting order. On the other hand, Ravindra Jadeja never finished as the highest run-scorer or the highest wicket-taker for the Super Kings in any single edition, but the all-rounder is the all-time leading wicket-taker for CSK in the IPL. Jadeja’s presence, along with Ravichandran Ashwin, would be highly missed as the Super Kings enter a new era with newer heroes on the horizon. David Warner gives an insight into the biggest trade ahead of IPL 2026 If I look back on my IPL career, I represented two franchises, the Delhi Capitals and the Sunrisers Hyderabad, and returning to Delhi after playing for Sunrisers for 7 years was definitely a moment I looked forward to at that point of my career. Ravindra Jadeja started his career with the Royals but went on to win three more titles with CSK, and it would definitely be an emotional moment for the all-rounder to return to his first franchise in the IPL. On the other hand, Samson might be in need of a fresh challenge in the IPL, and once he’s relieved of the captaincy duties, he might even surpass the pedigree and potential we saw in Sanju during his time with the Royals. Sanju Samson’s fresh opportunity at CSK When Samson was appointed as the captain of the Royals in 2021, there were not many bonafide stars in the RR dressing room with Yashaswi Jaiswal and Riyan Parag still in their teenage while Shivam Dube and Glenn Phillips were not the finished elite T20 product in terms of finishing games and providing genuine all-round options. Sanju took on that load of leading a young team and even qualified for the final of IPL 2022, 14 years after RR had made it to their last final. Despite his calibre and achievements, the Royals took the decision of trading Samson to improve their balance and offer more all-round options in the squad. The wicket-keeper batter is fresh off a great T20 World Cup campaign where he wasn’t even part of the first-choice playing XI, but came in and helped India make it to the semi-final against all odds. Ravindra Jadeja’s second homecoming at RR Ravindra Jadeja is adored by the fans in Chennai as one of their own and is part of the greatest CSK team which achieved IPL, CLT20, and completely dominated the T20 franchise circuit for a couple of years. But, after a couple of ordinary seasons, Jadeja would be looking forward to a change in scene as his skills and experience would be much more revered in the young RR setup where Kumar Sangakkara is back as the head coach and would be looking to get the best out of both Jadeja and Sam Curran. Shane Warne and Ravindra Jadeja bowled in tandem for RR in 2009 and 2010 Jadeja’s rise as an all-round talent was well documented in his early years with RR with the legendary Shane Warne referring to him as ‘A Superstar in the Making’. After a gap of 15 years, the all-rounder is back where things started for him and alongside Curran, would allow the Royals to play a deeper batting line-up with more bowling options. Eoin Morgan feels Sanju Samson is the perfect fit for CSK If I look at this from a neutral lens, both teams have walked away with what they wanted, as Rajasthan Royals were short on all-rounders last season, while CSK lacked the firepower at the top, ultimately finishing with the wooden spoon in IPL 2025. With MS Dhoni edging towards the last one or two years of his IPL career, and many reports suggesting that the 44-year old might feature as an impact player and not don the gloves, Sanju can step into Dhoni’s role with ease behind the stumps. Apart from his excellent glove work, Dhoni is known for giving valuable inputs, which helped Ruturaj Gaikwad grow as a leader, and Samson, with his rich experience of leading RR and being part of India’s 2024 ICC T20 World Cup-winning squad, can offer similar inputs to Gaikwad, who will continue to lead CSK despite Samson’s arrival. Prashant Veer and Kartik Sharma have been identified as Jadeja’s and Dhoni’s respective heirs in the lower middle order, along with the presence of Dewald Brevis and Shivam Dube, who complete CSK’s middle order. Along with the upcoming prodigious talent Ayush Mhatre and skipper Gaikwad, Samson could be the perfect fit for CSK’s top order as the opening batter from Kerala is equally adept at playing seam and spin bowlers. Sanju has learnt from the best, as he was often on the sidelines watching Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli do their respective jobs with 100% precision. At RR, Sanju has also played under the captaincy of internationally acclaimed leaders like Steve Smith and Ajinkya Rahane, who are very tactically astute, and those learnings would certainly come in use in the near future when he would be one of the senior-most players in the CSK squad once Dhoni hangs up his boots.

Wild Animals are not Entertainment, Reiterates World Animal Protection
World Animal Protection has written to the American ambassador, to India, Honourable Mr Sergio Gor, after news reports and photographs indicate that he rode an elephant in Amer Fort/Haathi Gaon in Jaipur in Rajasthan. Whilst wholeheartedly appreciating the endeavour and initiative of the ambassador in promoting and honouring the beauty of the UNESCO World Heritage City of Jaipur, World Animal Protection has requested him to reconsider patronizing this activity that is not only cruel to captive elephants but also potentially risky in terms of zoonosis and aggression to the rider from the elephants. For more than two decades now, World Animal Protection has highlighted the unethical nature of these elephant rides and the cruelty inherent in capturing wild elephants, torturing them and making them amenable for entertainment activities like rides. White Tiger in captivity : Shubhobroto Ghosh For the American ambassador there are many wonderful opportunities to experience the beauty of elephants in India, a country that has revered the creature in art, history, folklore and culture and as the symbol of worship as Ganesha. The National Heritage Animal Of India, with more than sixty percent of their wild population found in India, is found in many national parks and sanctuaries in India where they can be observed in their regal splendor, interacting their own kind and indulging in patterns of behaviour that are similar to our own. Surely, for a representative of a foreign country, it is more befitting to watch these animals as nature intended them to be, rather than in unnatural surroundings where they have been reduced to pathetic caricatures of their natural selves. Elephants in Haathi Gaon in Jaipur photo credit : Shubhobroto Ghosh “ World Animal Protection requests the representatives of all foreign countries in India, be they officials for tourists, to refrain from patronizing cruel elephant elephant rides, not only in Jaipur, but throughout the country. Wild animals should be admired where they belong in the wild, and India offers rich and diverse opportunities in this regard, ” says Gajender Kumar Sharma, Country Director, World Animal Protection in India . There is also the topic of abuse of captive tigers that has come into media spotlight of late. Seventy two tigers have died in captive facilities in Chiang Mai in Thailand reportedly due to a virus. More than two million Indians visit Thailand every year and numerous Indian tourists visit low welfare captive venues that house tigers in Thailand, to endorse captive animal abuse, specifically to ride elephants and take close up photographs with animals like tigers. The recent incident highlights the focus on the unethical and exploitative nature of this cruel industry that is abusing big cats for profit. With the Big Cat Summit announced to take place in India in 2026, World Animal Protection urges all authorities in the Ministry Of Environment and Forests and Ministry of Tourism to discourage any activities that promote the abuse of big cats in India and abroad, including close encounters with big cats in substandard zoos in countries like Thailand. “World Animal Protection has already exposed the plight of captive tigers in Thailand and continues to remain vigilant to ensure these atrocities do not continue,” says Gajender Kumar Sharma, Country Director, World Animal Protection in India. There is also concern about the plight of a captive white tiger in Patna Zoo that has been seen to display stereotypic behaviour, a common pattern of behaviour in captive carnivores. World Animal Protection has extensive information and research material on this kind of behaviour that is considered to be the result of prolonged captivity and deprivation of natural stimulants that shape the lives of wide ranging carnivores like tigers. In this regard, World Animal Protection has alerted the Central Zoo Authority to the welfare aspects of this particular tiger, requesting immediate attention to alleviate the animal’s behavioural status and physical health. In a fast changing and conflict ridden world, the motto of World Animal Protection remains, wildlife belongs in the world.
