Sanju Samson becomes most expensive player in Kerala Cricket League auction, signed by Kochi Blue Tigers for Rs 26.8 lakh
Kerala star Sanju Samson will make his first appearance in the Kerala Cricket League's upcoming second edition after being signed up for Rs 26.60 lakh by Kochi Blue Tigers, making him the most expensive player signing in the league. Samson, who had been listed at a base price of Rs 3 lakh, saw exponential jumps to Rs 5 lakh and 10 lakh in a matter of moments before the intense bidding war ended with a record signing by Kochi, who spent more than half of their INR 50 lakh purse on the India wicket-keeper's signing. This will be Samson's first major appearance in a tournament overseen by the Kerala Cricket Association (KCA) since being controversially dropped from the Vijay Hazare Trophy squad in December 2024 after failing to turn up for a preparatory camp held in Wayanad. Kerala eventually went onto reach the Ranji Trophy final for the first time in their history, finishing runners-up behind Vidarbha. Last year, Samson opted for a break from the inaugural edition of the league despite being announced as its brand ambassador to prioritise his international commitments. 'Sanju has been playing non-stop cricket from March till July. Two months of IPL plus T20 World Cup have been taxing. Even after the T20 World Cup, he was part of the Indian T20 teams which toured Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka. Hence Sanju asked the KCA (Kerala Cricket Association) officials for a break. His name was not listed in the player auction too,' KCA sources had informed. Samson then went onto dominate in the opening spot for India in T20Is, scoring three hundreds in four innings against Bangladesh and South Africa, making him the first batter to record three T20I centuries in a calendar year. Samson last featured in the IPL 2025 season with the Rajasthan Royals, scoring 285 runs in nine innings.

Super Mohammed Siraj steps up and becomes India's pace leader in Bumrah's absence
"I love responsibility, I love the challenge."These were the words of Mohammed Siraj when asked how he felt about being leader of the Indian pace attack in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah during the Edgbaston Test. For a long time, Siraj and Bumrah has worked in tandem but it was always the latter who took home the plaudits for his work. Siraj had flashing moments of brilliance here and there but he was yet to show that he could be a leader of the side on his was until the first innings of the Edgbaston Test. The pacer, who has cut a polarising figure over the past few months after an uninspiring Australian tour. We all know how the story went from then till the England tour as the pacer found himself dropped from the Champions Trophy before a phenomenal IPL campaign saw him comeback. ENG vs IND 2nd Test Day 3 HighlightsYet, the first Test was a dose of reality for Siraj in the unforgiving conditions of England. He bowled well in patches, but many felt there was a lot more he could have done at Headingley. Then came Edgbaston and Bumrah was rested. Siraj is expected to remain one of the first names on the team sheet given Bumrah's workload management but he needed to prove that's exactly what he did early on Day three when he dismissed Joe Root and then produced a vicious delivery to dismiss Ben Stokes. The match then almost went out of India's hands after Harry Brook and Jamie Smith put on a 303-run stand before the new ball came in to Deep opened the door and Siraj ran through the tail and ended with figures of 6 for 70, something he was proud of."It's unbelievable because I was waiting for a long time. I have been bowling well but not getting wickets. I have only got four-wicket hauls here, so getting six here is very special," said Siraj. Courtesy: AP The man with a planComing into the second Test, it seemed like Siraj did have a plan. The Indian bowlers were wayward and the plans didn't seem to work out at all. This made questions come up about Siraj and Co. especially with Bumrah being out of the Siraj used his experience well and came up with a better plan for the England batters this time around. His line was more or less at the stumps, constantly asking questions of the batters. Sunil Gavaskar pointed to this saying the pacer was a man with a certainly does because obviously questions being asked after England won the test match chasing 370 in the fourth innings, so clearly a question being asked of the Indian bowlers. And Siraj in particular. And that was a very, very good bouncer to dismiss Stokes. And that's exactly what you want.""A bouncer's got to be a real effort ball. It can't be that you're banging it in halfway down without it actually coming up. That was a super bouncer. And, yes, I think he's looking to prove a point or two. He's bowled well, didn't get wickets yesterday, but today, look at the way, I mean, he's got Joe Root with a little bit of luck. That's how the game goes. You bowl a good ball, you don't get a wicket. You get catches dropped off your bowling or you don't get LBW decisions going your way, marginal decisions. So yes, sometimes you need luck, but that wicket of Ben Stokes was a superb delivery," said trying too much, sticking to the strengthsAs a leader in the side, Siraj's job this time was not to experiment a lot and stick to his strengths and that's what exactly happened. He has always been someone who is good when he is bringing the ball into the right-handers and he did exactly the same and stuck to the a slow wicket, with not a lot on offer, Siraj's mantra was to bowl in the right areas and with discipline."The wicket was very slow but when you are given a responsibility to lead the attack, my aim was to not try too much and just bowl in the right areas and bowl with discipline. My mindset was to keep it tight and not give away runs," he the game is far from done and so is the series, Siraj's performance does come at the right time for the Indian team who will be aiming to secure the win and make it 1-1.- EndsTune InMust Watch
