However, now according to the latest media reports, he is considering parting ways with the RR team.
Sanju Samson: This report revealed
On the other hand, if Cricbuzz reports are to be believed, serious differences have arisen between the player and the RR management regarding Sanju Samson. His family and close associates have confirmed that the Kerala batsman no longer wants to remain with the team. This difference has increased further due to being sent at number three last season.
This decision was taken after the poor performance of young openers Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal. Samson, who aspires to become a regular member of India’s T20 team as an opener, is believed to be unhappy with the change in the batting order. This is a big reason why he has asked the team to release himself.
However, till now there is no official news of Rajasthan Royals and Sanju Samson parting ways. Let us tell you that before the auction of last season, RR retained Sanju for Rs 18 crore.
