(Picture Credit: AFP)<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Star Indian wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson is part of the Rajasthan Royals team in the Indian Premier League. He was retained for Rs 18 crore by the Jaipur-based franchise ahead of IPL 2025 mega auctions. In the 2025 edition of IPL, Samson played nine matches and, with the help of one half-century, scored 285 runs. After a disappointing 2025 season where the Royals finished ninth in the points table, it was reported that Samson wants to part ways with the Rajasthan Royals.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">According to a report in Cricbuzz last week, Samson formally requested to be traded or released into the auction. And on Wednesday (August 13), it was reported by the publication that \u201cthere have apparently been many issues of differences between RR and Samson, one of which was the management\u2019s decision to release Jos Buttler.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">The former England white-ball captain was not retained by the Jaipur-based franchise ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction despite him scoring 3055 runs in 83 matches for the Royals in seven IPL seasons.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">\u201cLetting him go has been one of the most challenging decisions for me. During the England series, I told him over dinner that I was still not over it. If I could change one thing in the IPL, I would change the rule of releasing players every three years,&#8221; Samson had told Star Sports before last IPL season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><strong>Buttler joined GT for Rs 15.75 crore<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">After being released by Royals, Buttler entered the IPL 2025 mega auction and he was signed for Rs 15.75 crore by Gujarat Titans. In IPL 2025, Buttler played 14 matches for the Shubman Gill-led side and scored 538 runs.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><strong>RR want Jadeja or Gaikwad<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">Royals are ready to trade Samson ahead of IPL 2026 auction and according to a report the inaugural edition winners have written to multiple franchises to enquire about their interest in signing Samson.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">It has been reported that RR owner Manoj Badale has even \u201cmentioned the names of specific players from different franchises that the Royals are keen on, in exchange for Samson.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\">According to the available information, in exchange for Samson, RR have asked for Ravindra Jadeja or Ruturaj Gaikwad from Chennai Super Kings, but the Chennai-based franchise is not ready to entertain. All-rounder Shivam Dube, who has played for RR in the past, is also among the players the Royals are interested in signing from CSK as part of the Samson deal, but CSK are unwilling to part with the India all-rounder either.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"jsx-4625396a04d15488 jsx-1965856375 coral-count-custom\">view comments<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-4625396a04d15488 jsx-1965856375 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/cricket\/\">cricket<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> Sanju Samson Wants To Leave Rajasthan Royals Because&#8230;<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-9278cad478d6a6dc \">\n<div class=\"jsx-9278cad478d6a6dc coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-9278cad478d6a6dc coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
