Sanju Samson's future with the Rajasthan Royals is uncertain, with reports suggesting he may not continue as captain even if he stays with the franchise. Samson has been with the Royals since 2013 and led them to the IPL final in 2022.
Rahul Dravid recently resigned as head coach after disagreements with management, further adding to the team's instability. Samson himself has reportedly expressed interest in leaving the Royals, with Chennai Super Kings initially showing interest but later withdrawing.
The Royals are considering Riyan Parag
The franchise owner will make the final decision on Samson's future, whether he stays, is traded, or enters the auction pool. The decision regarding the captaincy will also be crucial for the Royals' future prospects.
“There’s a school of thought that even if Samson stays put with the franchise, he might not continue as captain, for some bridges have been burned.”
