A high-stakes deal between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) enters the final stage over Sanju Samson as the IPL retention deadline approaches fast on November 15. Sanju Samson has already made up his mind to leave the Royals ahead of the IPL 2026.
And now the 2008 IPL winners have also decided to let go of the Indian wicketkeeper-batter. Earlier, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) were interested in securing the Kerala star, but they are not ready to leave their big stars, and their discussions ended.
Presently, the Delhi Capitals are the sole side that is desperate to bring Samson back into the side despite KL Rahul being at the helm as the wicketkeeper. However, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are interested in the Karnataka batter, but DC has made it clear that they will only swap Rahul with some of their key players like Harshit Rana, Rinku Singh, or Sunil Narine.

Amidst the buzz, the Capitals are ready to swap Tristan Stubbs with the Rajasthan Royals for Samson. Even some reports claimed that the DC and RR have advanced the talks, with the latter expecting to take over as the new captain ahead of the next edition of the tournament.
However, a Revsportz journalist, Rohit Juglan, has made an explosive revelation over the high-profile trade. He revealed that the Royals are “not happy” with just getting South Africa hard-hitter Tristan Stubbs, and the franchise wants more from the Capitals for the Samson deal.
Rajasthan Royals demand 2 players from Delhi Capitals
As quoted by the Revsportz journalist, Uttar Pradesh’s two talents, Sameer Rizvi and Vipraj Nigam, are on the Rajasthan Royals’ radar for the Samson trade. The 20-year-old Vipraj Nigam is a 20-year-old leg-spinner and right-handed batter, and he has already made an impact in his debut IPL season with DC.
Nigam played 14 matches for DC in the IPL 2025, where he scalped 11 wickets and scored 142 runs in eight innings at a strike rate of nearly 180. On the other hand, Sameer Rizvi was previously part of the CSK in the IPL 2024, and he played 8 matches for them but could manage only 51 runs in 5 innings.

After being released by the CSK, DC brought the right-hander for 95 lakhs, and he made an instant impact in IPL 2025, scoring 121 runs in just 4 innings and impressing one and all. Now, the Royals are aiming to get either of these rising stars from the Capitals to leave Samson.

The journalist claimed that the Royals made a fresh demand to the Capitals that they want Tristan Stubbs, along with either Sameer Rizvi or Vipraj Nigam for swapping Samson. However, the DC has already denied leaving Rizvi, and this could ruin the deal that is in the final stage.
Now, it will be interesting to see whether DC would be ready to leave Vipraj Nigam and Stubbs to bring back Samson ahead of the IPL 2026. But RR are more interested in Rizvi.
