Sanju Samson TROLLED After RCB Beat CSK in IPL 2026: 'Mentally Not in it'

IPL 2026, RCB vs CSK: Sanju Samson did not fire again on Sunday and now the daggers are out. Fans reckon Samson is not 'mentally in it'. Samson scored merely nine runs before perishing. The T20 World Cup hero not firing is obviously a big concern for the Chennai Super Kings early on in the tournament. Samson, who has recorded scores of 6, 7 and 9 - has certainly not lived upto the expectations and that is not helping the side.

He is expected to get the side off to good starts and he would be hoping he can find his form and hunger in the upcoming games. Here is how Samson is facing backlash on social space.

'Mentally Not in it'

Dear @IamSanjuSamson,

If you’re not mentally in it, then step aside for a few games. This isn’t just about runs anymore. Your body language is screaming disinterest. Every time the camera’s on you, you look frustrated and disconnected. Honestly, I’ve never seen you smiling even… pic.twitter.com/L7bFl0uJbf

I think Sanju Samson is missing Rajasthan Royals. CSK shouldn't have done this trade deal. There are many better wicket keeper batsmen..may not be as reputed as Sanju but can perform well. Moreover @ChennaiIPL doesn't look like a unit on field..only MSD can bring them on track.

CSK Hit Rock Bottom

The Chennai-based franchise is yet to get off the mark. After three games, they are still searching for their first win of the season. With the addition of new faces in the ranks, CSK was expected to do really well this year - but that has not been the case. Chennai will take on Delhi in their next clash and they would dearly hope they win and get their campaign back on track after a poor start.
