The Rajasthan Royals (RR) are a franchise that competes in the Indian Premier League (IPL), a cricketing league held annually in India. The team is based in the city of Jaipur, Rajasthan. Its jersey colour is blue and gold. RR won the inaugural edition of the IPL in 2008. The team is captained by Australian Steve Smith. More
The reason behind the big shift in base is reportedly due to the recent controversy involving the franchise and the Rajasthan Cricket Association.
Samson endured a challenging season in 2025. He missed several matches due to injury and got only one half-century from nine innings.
After former India opener Aakash Chopra explained the figures and the motivation behind them, the questions have only gotten louder.

Considering everything, letting Sanju Samson go makes a lot of sense. Sometimes, even the boldest calls are the ones that future-proof a franchise.
A 31-year-old Indian keeper-batter with proven leadership qualities is practically the ideal succession plan for CSK, who are searching for an ideal replacement for MS Dhoni.
According to insiders, Ravindra Jadeja's future at CSK is unknown, and the team has already contacted the all-rounder to "gauge his plans".
Now that Rajasthan Royals have once again expressed interest to bring the all-rounder back in a potentially lucrative trade, Ravindra Jadeja's IPL story could take another surprising turn.

Sanju Samson’s future in the IPL is still not clear. Rajasthan Royals (RR) may lose their skipper ahead of the 2026 season.
Sanju Samson would be a good fit at KKR, taking over the gloves and creating an additional overseas space by filling in for Rahmanullah Gurbaz or Quinton de Kock.
Rajasthan Royals co-owner Manoj Badale, who holds 65 percent of the stake in the franchise, is reported to be leading the negotiations personally.
Sanju Samson made the interesting revelation during Ravichandran Ashwin's YouTube show Kutti Stories with Ash.
The report also suggests that differences have cropped up between Sanju Samson and the Royals management.
