India's star batter Sanju Samson has joined the Men in Blue for the Asia Cup 2025 and is sweating hard in the nets in Dubai to gear up for the prestigious continental event. The right-handed batter is facing tough competition from Jitesh Sharma, who also looks to pip the RR captain and start as wicket-keeper batter for India.
Sanju Samson's Fan Interaction Goes Viral
There is a lot of chatter regarding Sanju's IPL future as the 30-year-old is touted to leave the Royals and make a move to another franchise during the trade window. Despite an initial push from Chennai Super Kings, the reports hint that Kolkata Knight Riders are the favourites to sign the right-handed batter.
The fans are awaiting a development regarding the potential deal, but as of now, neither of the two concerned parties have made any official remark. However, in the latest events, a video has been floating on the net, which claimed that Samson has all but confirmed his trade to the Knight Riders.
Did Sanju Samson Confirm Move To KKR In Dubai?
In the now viral video, the caption claimed that as Samson was stepping out of the team bus, a kid, who was wearing a KKR jersey, asked him to come to the three-time winners and in reply, Samson continued walking with 'Aata hun beta baad m (Will Come Later)' remark.
However, the video and the caption are edited. Whereas, in the actual footage, a normal fan had asked Samson for an autograph, to which the 30-year-old had replied that he would oblige the fan with a signature afterwards.
Thus, at the time of writing, there is no major development regarding Samson's future, and the right-handed batter continues to be an integral part of the Rajasthan Royals.
