MS Dhoni Sanju Samson: Talked to Dhoni on phone, Sanju Samson desperate to play with Thala

Thiruvananthapuram. Sanju Samson, the hero of India's T20 World Cup winning team, said that he is very excited to learn something from former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni while playing for Chennai Super Kings in the IPL. Samson has played most of the matches in IPL for Rajasthan Royals, but now he has joined CSK. When these two teams face each other in Guwahati on March 30, Samson will be seen in Chennai jersey.

Samson told reporters, 'I have spoken to Mahi Bhai (Dhoni) on the phone, but it will be very special to live and play in the same team with him. I consider this an opportunity to learn from him. This will be a home match of Rajasthan Royals and 31 year old Samson said that he will not let his emotions dominate this match. He said, 'I am very excited to play for CSK. This will be the first time I will play against Rajasthan Royals, but I do not let emotions dominate the field. I left Rajasthan Royals because I felt that my time in the team was over. I will try to give my best against them also.

Samson said that not being able to perform well before the World Cup gave him a chance to understand himself. Samson, who was chosen Player of the Tournament in the World Cup, said, 'When I left home to play the World Cup, I was not very confident, but fate had something else in store. I played well and people gave me a wonderful welcome. He said, 'When I come out on the field, I carry with me the dreams of thousands of people. People want to see me playing well so that they feel that even a small town boy can play on the biggest stage of cricket.

The most special moment for Samson during the tournament was when he received a message from Sachin Tendulkar. Apart from this, hugging coach Gautam Gambhir after winning the title was also very special for him. Samson said, 'Gouti Bhai (Gautam Gambhir) and I have a very old and deep relationship. He didn't say much, just hugged me for 30 seconds. We used to talk like this.
