Sanju Samson Not Leaving Rajasthan Royals For IPL 2026
For now, it appears the Rajasthan Royals are banking on stability, with Samson continuing to lead the side into the next season.
news.abplive.comHere’s the latest I could gather about Sanju Samson’s IPL 2026 run rate and form.
- Samson has been in strong hitting form for CSK in IPL 2026, including a century that helped CSK post a big total in April 2026. This marks his second century of the season, underscoring his continued impact with the bat.[1]
- In that same period, CSK have leaned on Samson’s runs while the rest of the lineup had mixed contributions, contributing to CSK’s competitive position in the league table.[1]
- Beyond CSK’s on-field performance, media reports throughout late 2025 and early 2026 consistently indicated Samson remained with CSK for IPL 2026, with speculation around possible trades or moves around the prior off-season largely settling on CSK as his team for 2026.[2][3][6]
- There were also highlights of notable CSK milestones involving Samson, including his return to form after earlier-season struggles and a high-scoring innings that reinforced his role as a key anchor for the CSK lineup.[8]
Illustrative example:
- A prominent CSK win featured Samson’s century (101*) against Mumbai Indians in late April 2026, helping CSK post a substantial total and signaling his ongoing influence in CSK’s campaign.[1]
