Rajasthan Royalys (RR) captain Sanju Samson will not be seen playing with the team in IPL 2026. According to media reports, a 30 -year -old cricketer has requested the franchise to trade or release before the IPL 2026 auction. Sanju Samson is RR’s highest match player in IPL history.

CSK, KKR and DC are showing interest CSK, KKR and DC are showing interest to connect Sanju with them. According to the Indian Express, five -time IPL champions want to include Chennai Super Kings Samson in their team. Since the end of 2025, Samson also met CSK Management and his head coach Stephen Fleming in the United States. It is believed that Chennai is ready to bring a 30 -year -old player to the Chepock through a trade deal. There is a hindrance about this because Rajasthan is giving priority to the exchange of two players from Chennai.
Apart from Chennai Super Kings, three -time IPL champions Kolkata Knight Riders are also showing interest in connecting Samson with him. While Samson seems to be keen to go to Chennai for several reasons. Samson was also associated with KKR earlier. He was part of the Gautam Gambhir -led team which won the IPL title in 2012. He did not get a chance to play any match for Shah Rukh Khan’s team.
