Sanju Samson asks to be released by RR ahead of IPL 2026 auction? He may then join…
New Delhi: There are reports of having problems between Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson and the team management. The report claims that Sanju Samson has put two conditions in front of the team management. Sanju has requested the management for a trade or release before IPL 2026. Sanju’s family has even said that Samson is no longer in the mood to captain Rajasthan Royals.
What is happening between Sanju Samson and RR management?
According to a Cricbuzz report, nothing is going right between Sanju Samson and the Rajasthan Royals team management. The report cites conversations with fellow team players that Sanju Samson wants to leave the team. What is the reason behind this sudden change in Samson’s mindset?
Well, all this is speculation right now. However, it is believed that the Kerala cricketer is not happy with his batting order. Samson likes to open in T20, but after Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s brilliant performance in IPL 2025, he was sent to number three. He was able to play only 9 matches in total.
What does Sanju Samson want?
Samson is probably upset with this, who is also fighting for an opening spot in India’s T20 team. Therefore, batting at number three for Rajasthan will end his chances of making it to the national team and that is why he wants a fresh start.
Which franchise is interested in Sanju Samson?
Chennai Super Kiogs is one such franchise that wants to trade Samson to add him to their squad. However, the five-time champions do not have enough money left to bring in the cricketer. To sign him, Chennai Super Kings will have to give up one of their marquee players or release players who were benched last season or who failed to impress.
