Rajasthan skipper Sanju Samson has been in talks over the last few seasons in the IPL due to his promising record with the bat. He was recalled to the Indian side as the opening batter in T20s. Samson has been promising for the Men in Blue as well, scoring multiple hundreds throughout the last few T20I series for India.
Sanju Samson, the wicket-keeper batsman and skipper of the Rajasthan Royals, is possibly on his way out of the franchise, as he has formally informed the franchise of his decision. RR retained Samson for a huge INR 18 Crore in the previous season and has the full discretion to decide whether to release Samson or not.
Though nothing has been confirmed as of yet, it seems Samson looks set to move on from the Royals, and it remains to be seen if the franchise decides to trade him or release him before the IPL mini-auction.
