Is Everything Well Between Rajasthan Royals Captain Sanju Samson and Head Coach Rahul Dravid? This question suddenly emerged after some media reports, based on a viral video, suggested a possible rift between Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson and head coach Rahul Dravid. However, Dravid, the former Indian captain, has now dismissed these speculations.
The controversy began after a video from the match between Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals went viral. In the video, Dravid is seen talking to support staff and players post-match, while Samson walks away. Fans shared the clip, claiming it indicated tension within the team.
In the press conference before the match against LSG, Dravid said:
"I don't know where these reports are coming from. Sanju and I are on the same page". Sometimes, when you lose matches or things don’t go right, criticism follows, and we accept it based on performance. But there’s no truth to these baseless claims. The team environment is really good, and I’m impressed with the hard work of the players. What people often don’t realise is how much it hurts the players when they don’t perform well." he added
Rajasthan Royals are currently struggling, placed 8th on the points table with just 2 wins from 7 matches. Their form has taken a sharp dip, suffering 5 losses, including their last three consecutive games. With a net run rate of -0.714 and only 4 points.
