CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson is reportedly doubtful to lead his team in the upcoming IPL 2025 clash against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), fueling speculation of an internal rift with team mentor and India coach Rahul Dravid. While the franchise has not officially confirmed any fallout, insider reports suggest tension between Samson and Dravid over tactical decisions and team selection during recent matches.
Samson, who has been a vital figure for RR both as a batter and leader, was absent from a key practice session, intensifying rumors of a possible fallout. Sources indicate that differences in approach and communication gaps have led to strained relations between the two cricketing figures.
Dravid, known for his composed demeanor and strategic insight, has been associated with Rajasthan Royals in an advisory role this season alongside his national duties. If the rift reports are true, this could affect team morale and Rajasthan’s momentum in the tournament.
Fans are eagerly waiting for official clarification as RR prepares for a crucial match against LSG. The situation raises questions about leadership dynamics and internal harmony within the team. Whether Samson will take the field remains uncertain, but the controversy has already created headlines.
