A large -scale update has come in the Rajasthan Royals (RR) regarding the situation, amidst the desire of his captain Sanju Samson to give up his franchise.
Allegedly, Sanju Samson’s departure has triggered more players to release Rajasthan Royals (RR), and a player he wanted was Yashasvi Jaiswal.
Anarchy in Rajasthan Royals as Sanju Samson
Several media outlets have reported that the relationship between Sanju Samson and Rajasthan Royals is sour, and Kerala superstars are ready to leave the franchise.

It was the first retention of Rajasthan Royals before the IPL 2025 mega auction and was paid 18 crores. Sanju Samson has already asked Rajasthan Royals for his release due to ‘serious differences’ with the team management.
Samson also planned RR’s auction strategy with head coach Rahul Dravid, but when Jose Butler was not retained, he became furious.
Since Samson has expressed his desire to leave, Rajasthan Royals are looking for options to participate with them through trade, and it is reported that they are close to signing a deal with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
Dhruv Jurael is planning to leave Rajasthan Royals
Even after Sanju Samson’s exit, Rajasthan Royals must have thought that they would not be very impressed in terms of wicketkeeping options as they have talented wicketkeeper-batsman Dhruv Jurlel in the line-up.
24-year-old Uttar Pradesh star Dhruv Jurael is inadvertently one for the future, and he currently has an understanding of Rishabh Pant in the test team and one day’s capacity has the ability to become India’s first choice in White-Ball cricket.
However, in a large -scale shock for Rajasthan Royals, he is also planning to leave the franchise. According to the Revsports journalist, Dhruv Jurlel may join Sanju Samson in exit before IPL 2026.
“Let me take the name. I have heard that Dhruv Jurael is planning to go too. Dhruv Juraral can also be seen leaving the team,” said Revsports journalist Rohit Juglan.

Yashasvi Jaiswal wanted to leave RR, but got a captaincy offer
Another big name that considered exiting his Rajasthan Royals (RR) is none other than the batting sensation Yashasvi Jaiswal. According to the same journalist, Jaiswal made up his mind to leave his mind, but the franchise did not want this to happen.
Therefore, Rajasthan Royals offered him captaincy to live, and Yashsvi Jaiswal can be seen in the role of a lead in IPL 2026 over Ryan Parag, who led the team in the IPL, who missed the matches of Sanju Samson.
“I have heard that Yashasvi was about to leave Jaiswal, but was promised to give him the captaincy. Will Ryan Parag Captain or Yashasvi Jaiswal become now? I think at this time you will see Yashasvi Jaiswal as the captain of Rajasthan Royals.
“In the coming time, who knows whether Rajasthan Royals will buy a player in auction or get a business or if there is a player in the auction that they want to make a captain. But I think if you want to stop Jaiswal, you have to make him captain. It is very clear now.
