Jose Butler and Sanju Samson played IPL together for Rajasthan Royals for 7 years. Butler became part of the Gujarat Titans last season.
The news of the release of Rajasthan Royals (RR) captain Sanju Samson is increasing rapidly. According to Cricbuzz report, Samson has made up his mind to separate from RR. Sanju was angry at the release of Jose Butler of England before the last auction.
The Royals franchise for Samson demanded one of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Rituraj Gaikwad or Shivam Dubey. Chennai turned down this demand of Rajasthan.
After not getting a deal with Chennai, RR has started searching for trade options from other teams. According to media reports, Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals are also interested in buying Samson.
RR sent letters to other teams Rajasthan team owner Manoj Badle himself is focusing on Samson’s trade deal. He has also sent an official letter to all the franchises. In the letter, he has also written the demand of players in exchange for Samson. In this connection, the team demanded Jadeja, Gaikwad or Dubey from CSK, which Chennai turned down.
Chennai Super Kings do not want to release any big player. The team demanded Rajasthan to buy Samson in exchange for money, which Royals are not considering. If there is no talk on the trade, Chennai will put full emphasis on buying Samson in auction.
Chennai Super Kings are looking at Sanju Samson as a replacement of MS Dhoni.
It is difficult for Samson to go into auction Rajasthan started talking to the rest of the teams only after the Chennai deal rejected the deal. According to reports, the rest of the teams also want to include Samson in their squad. If Rajasthan gets a good deal, then Sanju will become part of another team before the auction. Due to which his name will not come in the auction.
Not only this, if the trade deal is not finalized, then Rajasthan can also retain Samson. Because the final decision of a player to do retain, release or trade is in favor of the franchise. The player cannot do anything in this.
Last season Sanju Samson stayed out of some matches due to Inzari. He was replaced by Vaibhav Suryavanshi (right).
Samson has demanded release Sanju Samson has also made an official request to release from Royals Management. There is a dispute between Samson and RR over some decisions. The biggest controversy is to release Jose Butler last season.
Before the 2025 mega auction, RR released Butler, after which Gujarat bought him for Rs 15.75 crore. Gujarat strengthened its opening, but the Rajasthan team became weak due to Butler left. Due to which the team could not make a place in the playoffs last season.
Samson said on Star Sports during the last IPL season, ‘It was the most difficult decision for me to release Butler. I spoke to him about this during the Dinner during the England series. I told Jose that I have not yet understood this decision. If I can change any rules from IPL, then the rules of releasing players will change every 3 years. Royals retained Shimron Hetmyer of West Indies in place of Butler.
Jose Butler scored 3055 runs for Rajasthan scoring 7 centuries in 7 years.
Samson could not play some matches due to injury Sanju Samson could not even play some of the IPL matches due to the last season injury. Ryan Parag took command of the team in his place, while Vaibhav Suryavanshi got a chance to open.
Samson had also praised Vaibhav and team management in YouTub Podcast with Ravichandran Ashwin recently. He did not say anything openly even after separating from Rajasthan. In such a situation, they are not necessarily released from Royals. However, in view of controversies, it is also difficult for them to be retained.
