It is being said that Sanju Samson requested the franchise to either trade or release him ahead of the IPL 2025 auction, as he now wants a fresh start elsewhere. This sparked speculations that Samson is not happy with Dravid and the team management, and even during the IPL 2025, it was visible.

However, the Indian wicketkeeper-batter cannot just walk away from the franchise on his own. Samson is still bound by a contract with the Royals for another two years, which means the decision is not entirely in the Kerala star’s hands.
Sanju Samson’s future entirely in the Rajasthan Royals
The first one is that Sanju could be traded to another franchise if a suitable deal comes up. The second option is that the Royals release him into the auction pool, where he will be free to join any team that buys him. The third possibility is that he continues with the franchise despite being unhappy with the current setup for the next IPL 2026 and possibly in 2027 as well.
Will RR let Sanju Samson go into the auction?
Presently, the second option—being released into the IPL 2026 auction pool—seems to be the most likely outcome, but the Cricbuzz report suggested that nothing can be confirmed yet. Everything depends on how the RR management plans to handle the situation after Dravid’s shocking exit.
Notably, Samson missed the start of the IPL 2025 with injuries, featuring only as an impact player later. Riyan Parag stepped in as captain, shining with the bat by scoring 393 runs at 32.75 and a blazing 166.5 strike rate. But his leadership faltered, managing just two wins in eight matches. Still, Parag is getting the backing of some decision makers for the RR captaincy.
