Sanju samson news: Indian wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson has decided that he wants to leave the Rajasthan Royals team of IPL. He has put his wish in front of the management of Rajasthan Royals, but now this decision has to be taken by the franchise. If this happens, it can be a big transaction in the history of IPL. Or, Sanju Samson can also be included in a mini-auction. Now the biggest question is that if Sanju Samson leaves Rajasthan Royals, then in which team he will go. If this transaction occurs, a team will have to spend about 18 crore rupees to include them in their team. At the same time, if they go into auction, then their price may be even higher.
CSK’s eye on Sanju Samson
Sanju Samson is eyeing two big teams, one of which is Chennai Super Kings (CSK). For a few months, there have been reports that CSK wants to include Sanju in her team. If this happens, it will not be a big deal. MS Dhoni is now in the last phase of his career, so CSK is looking for a good wicketkeeper batsman and big Indian player, and Sanju can fulfill this need. Apart from this, CSK also needs another batsman in the top order. Ruturaj is Gaikwad captain, but if another leader is in the team, it can be beneficial for the team, especially when Dhoni is not on the field.
KKR’s eyes on Sanju Samson
The second team is Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), who is also eyeing Sanju Samson. In 2024, KKR performed brilliantly and won the IPL Trophy, but his performance in 2025 was nothing special. He had trouble replacing Phil Sold, and Quinton de Kock and Rahmanullah Gurbaz could not perform well. Sanju Samson is both an opening batsman and wicketkeeper, so he can easily fit KKR’s team. Being an Indian, Sanju can improve the balance of the team, which will eliminate some weaknesses of the team. In addition, Ajinkya Rahane cannot be a captain for a long time, and an experienced player like Sanju has a good leadership experience. Some expensive KKR players can be excluded from the team, which will make no shortage of money to buy Sanju.
Apart from KKR and CSK, Delhi Capitals can also include Sanju Samson in their team. Delhi’s team has not won a single IPL title so far. Currently, KL Rahul takes wicketkeeping in Delhi, but Delhi can play Samson as wicketkeeper batsman and Rahul as a batsman. Apart from this, Delhi has a young and inexperienced captain as Akshar Patel, so Sanju Samson can be a great option for captaincy. Sanju’s experience and leadership skills can prove to be very beneficial for Delhi.
