Samson was last seen on the field as captain of Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025. The tournament ended on June 3, when Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) claimed their first-ever title. Following the IPL, the Kerala-born batter travelled to the United States, where he was seen attending the MLC 2025 match.
Prasanna stated that CSK have initiated discussions to trade an Indian off-spinner and a left-handed middle-order batter in exchange for a top-order batsman. His comments grabbed attention due to his close association with Ravichandran Ashwin, frequently appearing on the spinner's YouTube channel.

Sanju Samson to CSK, Ravichandran Ashwin & Shivam Dube to RR?
Prasanna Aghoram hinted that Chennai might trade Ravichandran Ashwin and Shivam Dube to RR in exchange for Sanju Samson. If the trade goes through, RR would receive players valued at ₹21.75 crore, while Samson is valued at ₹18 crore. RR are expected to pay the remaining ₹3.75 crore to CSK.
Ashwin, who rejoined CSK in 2025 after a decade, failed to make a significant impact, taking just 7 wickets in 9 matches. Dube, on the other hand, had a solid season, scoring 357 runs in 14 games at an average of 32.45 and a strike rate of 132.22.
