Will Sanju Move to CSK

Is Malayali star Sanju Samson, leaving Rajasthan Royals, set to join Chennai Super Kings? With the conclusion of this year’s IPL season, this is the question being discussed most among Sanju’s fans and cricket enthusiasts. Rumors are now gaining momentum, suggesting that Sanju’s move is almost certain. A post shared by Sanju on Instagram with his wife has fueled these speculations among fans. At first glance, the image shows the couple crossing a road, but fans have interpreted it differently.

The main reason for this is the caption Sanju gave to the photo: “Time to move,” meaning it’s time to move on. The background of the photo shows them crossing a yellow line on the road. Additionally, the song accompanying the post is from the Tamil movie *7aum Arivu*. These elements have led fans to interpret the post as an indication of a potential move to Chennai. Comments like “Welcome to Chennai Super Kings, Sanju! CSK has decided on their new captain, the message is clear, Sanju bro will now be in the yellow jersey” are flooding the post.

Hundreds of such fan comments can be seen below the post. However, these are merely fans’ speculations and expectations. There has been no official confirmation regarding Sanju leaving Rajasthan or joining Chennai. Sanju, with over 4,000 runs, is the highest run-scorer for Rajasthan in the IPL. However, the recently concluded season, which was disappointing for both Rajasthan and Sanju, is one they would prefer to forget. Due to an injury, Sanju couldn’t play the entire season. In his absence, Rajasthan, led by Riyan Parag, finished ninth in the points table. Chennai’s performance was similarly lackluster. With Ruturaj Gaikwad sidelined by injury, MS Dhoni took over the captaincy, but the team ended the season at the bottom of the table. At that time, many speculated that Dhoni would not return to Chennai next season and that Sanju might join as his replacement.

This is not the first time rumors about Sanju leaving Rajasthan have surfaced. Similar reports had emerged in previous years as well. However, fans believe that this time, the rumors might not remain mere speculation. If this happens, Chennai Super Kings could have the opportunity to bring Sanju into their team through the mini-auction ahead of the 2026 IPL season. However, for that to happen, Rajasthan would need to release Sanju before the auction. Letting go of Sanju would be a significant loss for Rajasthan. Decisions like releasing key players, including Jos Buttler, have previously impacted Sanju’s captaincy, and there have been indications of internal disagreements within the team management.

At the same time, some fans argue that Rajasthan Royals, where Sanju has spent the majority of his career, will not let him go under any circumstances. They believe Sanju’s captaincy is essential for Rajasthan to make a strong comeback in the next season. Whether Rajasthan is willing to part with their superstar and captain, Sanju, will become clear only after a few more months.
