"I have a lot of questions to ask. But before that, I thought I'd come directly and trade myself. I am happy to stay back in Kerala. There are a lot of rumours going on. Neither do I know of anything. So, I thought I'd reach out to you and ask you. If I can stay back in Kerala and you can travel back to Chennai," remarked Ashwin as quoted by the Times of India.
Samson didn't comment on the rumours, but burst out laughing over Anna's remarks. However, the CSK fans were delighted by the response and are more optimistic about landing Sanju in Chennai.

A couple of days ago, a report from Cricbuzz mentioned that Rajasthan Royals' captain, Sanju Samson is looking to leave the franchise because of seerious internal rift with the management.
Notably, CSK and KKR are the two teams reported to be targetting Samson for the upcoming season, but Ashwin's cheeky remark on his show seems to confirm that the right-handed batter's preferred desitnation is Chennai.
Meanwhile, the report also added that the Royals' group has also asked for two CSK players in return.
