Sanju Samson has scored more than 4 thousand runs in IPL.
Players’ trading windows have opened in IPL. Rajasthan Royals captain and wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson wants to include Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in its team. However, there has been no official conversation with CSK’s Royals Management so far.
Talking to Cricbuzz, a senior CSK official said, we are definitely thinking about Sanju. He is an Indian opener, is also a wicketkeeper and if we are available, we will definitely consider bringing him. However, it is not yet decided which player will be traded instead.
CSK may leave Rituraj instead of Sanju In IPL 2025, Sanju Samson was the first player retained by Rajasthan for 18 crores. At the same time, CSK captain Rituraj Gaikwad was also retained on the same amount of money. In such a situation, it is natural to get a discussion of trade between the two. But coach Stephen Fleming has already said that Rituraj has been made under the captain long plan.
Rajasthan not one, but many franchises Rajasthan Royals had held a review meeting in London recently after IPL 2025, in which coach Rahul Dravid was also present. The meeting believed that many franchises have shown interest for many players including Sanju. In addition to Sanju, RR has another wicketkeeper-batsman like Dhruv Jurael, who has emerged as a valuable asset for the team.
Sanju from Sanju 2021 RR captain
Sanju Samson became part of Rajasthan Royals setup since 2013 and was made the captain of the team in 2021. The Kerala batsman has scored more than 4000 runs in the IPL and has three centuries in his name.
As the captain of the Royals in 2021, he scored 484 runs in his first season, including a brilliant innings of 119 runs in 63 balls against Punjab Kings in his first IPL match as captain. In 2022, Samson took Rajasthan to the IPL final after 14 years.
