In the 19th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2026), Sanju Samson will not play for Rajasthan Royals, after which the news came that Chennai Super Kings are willing to include him in his team and the conversation is going on. Now the news has come that through trade, Rajasthan wants to take Rituraj Gaikwad or Ravindra Jadeja instead of its captain.

Why does Sanju Samson want to leave Rajasthan Royals?

The news of Sanju Samson’s trade is still in discussion. According to Cricbuzz report, Sanju Samson himself wants to leave Rajasthan Royals. Although many things are the reason for this, but last year Jose Butler is being told not to retain. Samson said last season that letting Butler go was one of the most challenging decisions for me.

After Sanju’s demand to leave the Rajasthan Royal team, the franchise has contacted several teams for trade. According to the news, Rajasthan is close to a deal, whom will he take in exchange for Samson? Therefore, suggestions of some players have also been given.

Who will be included in Rajasthan Royals instead of Sanju Samson?

The news of Rajasthan Royals trade with Chennai Super Kings is still in discussion, according to the report, the Rajasthan team has demanded one of Rabindra Jadeja and Rituraj Gaikwad from CSK instead of their captain. Jadeja has also captained CSK and Rituraj Gaikwad is currently the captain of CSK. However, Chennai Super Kings are not ready to leave any of these two through trade.

All -rounder player Shivam Dubey’s name was also revealed, but Chennai does not want to leave him either. Right now, it is difficult for Sanju Samson to go to Chennai, now Rajasthan will not take any small player instead of its captain. Let us know that there will be a mini auction for IPL 2026 in December, although it is difficult to name Sanju Samson in the auction.

Difficult because if the deal with Chennai Super Kings is not made, then Sanju can also go with another team through Samson Trade. There is also a possibility whether Sanju will remain in Rajasthan by forgetting the differences. It seems difficult to see the current situation. Explain that the player can request to leave the franchise, the final decision will be of the franchise.
