Samson was retained for ₹18 crore by the Royals before IPL 2025. However, the right-handed batter missed a few matches of the season due to injury. He played nine games and scored 285 runs, including a half-century. There is uncertainty over whether he will continue with the Royals or join a new team.
“I came to know about Sanju Samson during the Asia Cup 2025. I talked to some people, and there were discussions between Samson and Delhi Capitals not just about him as a player but also about him as a captain,” Juglan said.
Sanju Samson Unhappy With Rajasthan Royals’ Decision to Release Jos Buttler
Rohit Juglan stated that Samson was unhappy with the Rajasthan Royals’ decision to release Jos Buttler. He added that Samson wanted to keep the top order unchanged. Juglan also pointed out that tensions between Samson and the franchise became visible during a match against Delhi.
"When I watched the Delhi match, the one that went into a Super Over, it became clear that there was a difference of opinion. Sanju was sitting separately while the rest of the team was discussing strategy. Even when a player called him to join the huddle, he stayed back. That’s when it became evident that things weren’t right between Sanju Samson and Rajasthan Royals.”
