The former Indian cricket, who turned to Aakash Chopra commentator, believes that the rapid rise of the young opener Rajasthan Royals’ (RR) VAibhav SuryavANSHi must play a key role in the reported desire in Sanju Samson to leave the franchise before IPL 2026. The most worse party that signed Samson if the captain of Rajasthan decides to leave.
The news suggested that Samson asked RR to release him, It causes speculation about his further move. When he spoke on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra, he questioned why Samson would like to leave Rajasthan in the first place, especially due to his key role in their settings in previous periods.
“Why would Sanja Samson want to leave? Is it interesting, because when the last mega auction occurred, Jos Buttler let go, and I felt that Jos Buttler had come because Yashsvi came and Sanja wanted to open, and Sanja and Rajasthan Royals were really, really strong.
However, the emergence of a young opener VAIBHAV SURYAVANSHI could move team dynamics, counts Chopra.
“I felt that it would be a huge entry from Sanju at the players they had kept or released. Chopra said.
Samson scored 285 runs at 140.39 in nine shifts during the IPL 2025. Meanwhile, SuryavANSHi’s explosive start to his career IPL – 252 runs in just seven shifts at a staggering striking speed of 206.55, including Indians, including Indians.
KKR should be the most desperate to sign Samson: Chopra
The former opener further suggested that the current setting of the KKR makes them the main candidates for the inclusion of Samson.
“The first name that comes to my mind is not CSK. KRK should be the most desperate team. The KRK has no Indian nipple bag, and it just connects hands behind.
Chopra explained that Rahane’s bats position represents challenges and KKR could consider the release of the versatile venkatesh Iyer, One of their high -value players.
“Ajinkya Rahane as a dough, either opens, or otherwise the order of the bats was a bit of a problem. They have players they can also release. If they wish, they can release Venkates Iyer, liberate nearly 24 crore, and then they can actually change,” he added.
In the IPL 2025 season, KRK lacked the Indian goalkeeper, instead relied on the overseas possibilities of Quinton de Kock and Rahmanullah Gurbaz. Chopra feels that Samson, both a good Indian goal and a strong leading option, would fit into his plans “perfectly”.
