Sanju Samson Seeks Release from Rajasthan Royals Before IPL 2026

Reports suggest Samson has informed RR management about his desire to move on, citing “differences” and a fresh start.

Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders are reportedly monitoring the situation closely ahead of the IPL 2026 auction.

Despite the request, Rajasthan Royals hold Samson’s contract until 2027 and may not agree to a release without a strong trade offer.

If Samson leaves, Yashasvi Jaiswal or Riyan Parag could be frontrunners for the captaincy.

Since 2013, Samson has been RR’s batting pillar with over 3,900 runs, 2 centuries, and 25 fifties.

Will RR grant his wish or fight to keep their star? The IPL 2026 auction will have the answer.
