CSK outbid the Delhi capitals and acquired Sam Curran’s services for Rs 5.5 crore. Sam is happy to representing a team full of ‘big names’.

MS Dhoni has proved himself as one of the most successful captains in the shortest format of the game. He has led CSK since the inaugural season in 2008 and won 3 IPL titles with them.  CSK under MS Dhoni is the only team in the league’s history to have made the playoffs every single season.

“Him (Dhoni) and Kohli are probably the two biggest but all the Indians are massive superstars. Chennai is an older squad so there are quite a few legends who have made it in the game. Hopefully, they will be looking to give tips to the younger players. That’s something I’m really looking forward to,” he added.

Sam also takes a dig at his elder brother Tom Curran whos has drafted in by the Rajasthan Royals. Igniting the brotherly rivalry, Sam hopes to “hit him everywhere and then hit his stumps.”

The NHS staff is the front line workers in England who are risking their lives to help the people in need of medical help due to the Coronavirus pandemic across the globe.

The 21-year-old said, “The smallest thing we can do is raise some funds. We’ve just got to appreciate what they’re doing. We’re all sat at home having a nice coffee when there’s actually people working such long shifts and hours. That’s when we realise how lucky we are in what we do.”
