IPL 2026: Before the mini auction of IPL, the hustle and bustle in the cricket world has intensified. This time the discussion is not about any foreign player, but about Indian star Sanju Samson. There are continuous reports about Rajasthan Royals (RR) captain and reliable batsman Sanju that he may leave the franchise. Now he might move to Chennai Super Kings (CSK). However, now a big update on this has come from Chennai.

CSK broke the silence

For the last few days, the news was spreading rapidly on social media that Sanju Samson can be seen in the jersey of Chennai Super Kings from the next season. It was being said in the reports that CSK is looking for an Indian wicketkeeper-batsman to take over the responsibility of captaincy after Dhoni and Sanju fits in this role.

But now according to the report of Money Control, the Chennai Super Kings franchise has rejected these discussions outright. The team management has said that as of now they have not talked about any trade or transfer of a new player. This means that at present Sanju’s move to CSK has been postponed.

Old relationship with Rajasthan Royals

The relationship between Sanju Samson and Rajasthan Royals is about 12 years old. He was added to the team in 2013, when Kolkata Knight Riders released him. Since then, Sanju has remained one of the most trusted faces of the team.

Sanju has scored more than 4,200 runs in 149 innings for RR, which includes 26 half-centuries and 2 centuries. In 2021, when the franchise removed Steve Smith from the captaincy, Samson was made the captain and gave stable leadership to the team.

Sour news with the franchise

However, according to media reports, as soon as IPL 2025 ends, Samson had expressed his desire to leave the franchise to the team management. It is being said that the relationship between him and the management is no longer the same as before. Sanju had clearly said that either he should be released or he should be traded to some other team.

The decision depends on Rajasthan management

There is a contract between Sanju and Rajasthan Royals till 2027. In such a situation, the decision to release him will completely depend on team owner Manoj Badale. If the franchise wants, it can stop him, but considering the atmosphere inside the team, this decision will not be easy.
