New Delhi, March 14 -- Former India batter Suresh Raina is of the opinion that Sanju Samson should bat at the No.3 position for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL 2026.

Samson was traded from Rajasthan Royals (RR) to Chennai Super Kings, and the Kerala batter will be raring to go as he is coming on the back of a successful T20 World Cup campaign.

Samson scored 321 runs from five matches that included knocks against West Indies (97*), England (89) and New Zealand (89) in the Super 8s, semi-final and final respectively.

He ended the tournament as India's top run-scorer, after being overlooked for the first half of their T20 World Cup campaign. His knock of 89 in the final against New Zealand helped India win the title with a 96-run win.
