Sanju Samson, Rajasthan Royals’ most-capped player and current captain, has reportedly requested a release from the franchise due to serious differences with the management, according to Cricbuzz. The Kerala batter has played 149 IPL matches for RR, scoring 4027 runs and captaining the team in 67 games. Though RR retained him for ₹18 crore in 2025, close sources claim Samson’s relationship with the franchise has deteriorated. While RR denies plans to trade him, insiders suggest the standoff is significant. Samson’s exit could shake up the IPL landscape ahead of the next season’s auction. (PC: X)
