Sanju Samson: Sanju Samson is facing most of the struggle in his career. Despite doing well, they have to struggle to make a place in Team India. Cricket analysts and fans believe that Sanju’s talent and ability are being sacrificed to pursue a player. This continuous neglect has also raised questions on the selection policies….
Sanju Samson keeps on coming to India, but this time, his IPL franchise Rajasthan Royals (RR). RR was once known for the development of young players, but now the team is on the target of critics.
RR is now accused of sidelining a player like Sanju Samson to promote a player, and that player is none other than Ryan Parag. It is reported that Parag may be permanently captain instead of Sanju in the next season.
It is clear that Sanju Samson’s sacrifice is being sacrificed to carry forward Ryan Parag, it is also reported that the coach Rahul Dravid broke his ties with the franchise after being angry with the matter of making pollen captain.
Royals want to pursue Ryan Parag
Ryan Parag impressed by scoring 573 runs in 2024 at a strike rate of about 150, but his season of 2025 was not as good. He scored 393 runs in IPL 2025, but could not impress as captain. Still they are being supported.
Continuous neglect of Sanju Samson
Sanju Samson, the longest captain of Royals, seems to be the biggest victim of this strategic change. Injuries and turmoil-filled season may have affected his recent contribution, but he cannot be ignored as a captain.
Nevertheless, it seems that RR is adamant on getting them out of the team, and is making excuses to use their temporary absence with pollen captaincy. Fans believe that the sacrifice of Samson’s career is not due to poor form but pollen love.
