Sanju Samson and his brother stole the spotlight early on in the season opener for Kochi Blue Tigers. Sanju combined with his brother, Saly Samson, to secure the first wicket in the match vs Trivandrum Royals. Sanju's direct throw was caught by Saly, resulting in a run-out. This sibling effort drew social media attention. It also highlighted the Samson brothers' leadership for Kochi Blue Tigers.

Sanju Samson has scored most of his IPL runs at No. 3, second only to Suresh Raina in terms of overall runs at that position. His record at No. 3 is strong, with an average of 38 and a strike rate of 143 in the IPL. But fitting him in there would mean dropping Tilak Varma, which would also break the left-hand/right-hand balance India have carefully built in their middle order.
