Watch: Yuzvendra Chahal’s unique birthday wish for Sanju Samson in Malayalam

Dubai: Yuzvendra Chahal never misses a chance to keep netizens entertained, and this time, his antics were directed toward Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson on his 31st birthday. In a heartwarming and humorous gesture, the Indian spinner shared a fun video that quickly went viral across social media platforms.

The short clip, posted on Tuesday, featured both cricketers as Chahal delivered a special birthday message — in Malayalam. His playful attempt at the language added to the charm, and fans couldn’t get enough of it.

In the video, Chahal is heard saying a phrase that translates to, “Is there anybody ready to mess with us both?” The light-hearted challenge struck a chord with fans, perfectly capturing the easy camaraderie and chemistry between the two Rajasthan Royals stars.

The video’s virality comes amid intriguing developments within the Royals camp. Reports suggest that the franchise is exploring a potential player trade that could see Sanju Samson move to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in exchange for all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja ahead of the IPL 2026 auction.

While Chahal’s video offered fans a glimpse of the strong bond within the Rajasthan Royals team, the ongoing trade buzz has kept the cricket community abuzz. Samson’s rumored move to CSK as a possible replacement for Jadeja has been one of the most talked-about topics leading up to the auction.

The IPL 2026 player auction is expected to take place in Abu Dhabi, with December 16 emerging as the likely date. If confirmed, it will mark the third consecutive overseas auction following previous editions held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and Dubai, UAE.
