Talks of Sanju Samson leaving his PL franchise, Rajasthan Royals, have grown into what can be called a snowball effect now. The reports everywhere of Samson leaving for other teams like KKR and CSK were even analysed by cricket experts and former cricketers.

Only adding to that growing speculation, Sanju Samson recently shared a picture of training with an RCB throwdown specialist ahead of his T20I tour against Australia from October 29. The 30-year-old wicketkeeper batter's recent social media activity cooked up storms on the internet.

Samson posts picture with RCB throwdown specialist

On the evening of October 21, Sanju Samson shared a picture of practicing with RCB throwdown specialist Gabriel. The picture showed Samson warmly taking a picture with Gabriel while side-hugging him. Probably, the photo was taken after the net session, as the RCB jersey of Gabriel gets the spotlight for being the fire behind the smoke.

Social media is now a great medium to hint to fans and followers of one's next move, and Samson's post might be innocent or maybe a hint towards a true massive shift to the IPL giant who had their maiden title win this year.

How strong is Samson's RR exit rumour?

Sanju Samson served for the Rajasthan Royals for 11 seasons since his debut back in 2013. For only two seasons he was transferred to Delhi Capitals; however, he returned to his parent franchise in 2018 but has yet to give them a trophy even after being captain of the franchise for four seasons.

Reports indicate Sanju Samson's RR exit might have stemmed from his rift with the management regarding his captaincy role and batting position in matches. According to him, his opinions weren't paid heed at all. If looked at closely, RR has also been trying to promote Riyan Parag as Samson's successor, as other franchises have been hungry for Samson in the IPL mini auction.
