Sanju Samson reveals origin of Steve Smith's nickname
New Delhi, May 6: Wicket-keeper batsman Sanju Samson on Tuesday revealed how his Rajasthan Royals teammate and Australian batting stalwart Steve Smith got the nickname "Chachu." Samson said that the nickname started with former batsman Brad Hodge.
"It started with Brad Hodge, he used to call Smith 'Chachu', then when Hodgy left, I started calling Smith 'Chachu'. In return Smith also started calling me 'Chachu'. We both really enjoy and continue calling each other that," said Samson in a conversation with RR spin consultant and New Zealand spinner Ish Sodhi on the RR podcast.
