Speculation is rife in the IPL regarding a potential trade involving Sanju Samson, with the Rajasthan Royals reportedly inquiring about other franchises' interest in acquiring the India keeper-batter after Samson requested a move. While potential deals with Chennai Super Kings involving players like Ravindra Jadeja or Ruturaj Gaikwad seem unlikely, negotiations are underway with multiple teams. However, there is also a chance Samson may remain with the Royals if a suitable trade does not materialize. The situation reportedly arose from differences between RR and Samson, including the decision to release Jos Buttler.
Sanju Samson has officially requested a trade from the Rajasthan Royals, seeking a new direction in his IPL career. Rajasthan Royals management has already contacted multiple franchises to gauge their interest, with team owner Manoj Badale personally leading the negotiations. The Royals have reportedly mentioned specific players they want in return, although their high demands have made negotiations with CSK unlikely. Despite this, several other franchises have expressed strong interest in signing Samson. If no suitable deal emerges, Samson may still remain with the Royals for the upcoming season.
