Cricket Bloopers: Twitter Turns Sanju Samson’s RR Exit News into a Meme Match

This was also followed by the IPL Trade Window announcement, which is expected to close by the end of the year. Amidst all this, there have been various reports of Sanju Samson, captain of the Rajasthan Royals, who is expected to leave the team ahead of the IPL 2026 season. Although this news might be sad for the RR fans, X (formerly known as Twitter) has started its meme match, taking a look at the reports. Let’s take a look at some of the most hilarious tweets by fans on the reports of Samson’s RR exit.

Halla Bol… to Halla Bye

Rajasthan Royals, the team that won the inaugural IPL season in 2008, has failed to win the championship even once since then. Along with that, the team can start off the tournament well, but is unable to convert those starts, which either puts them just beyond the playoffs or they are eliminated as the playoffs start.

Rajasthan wants to leave too so we get to see assam royals😂

— Archer (@poserarcher) August 7, 2025

After the reports of Sanju Samson leaving the team came out, a fan reacted by saying that the Rajasthan Royals are also preparing themselves for leaving the IPL. He also hilariously said that we could get a new team with the name Assam Royals if Rajasthan continues to let their top players go. The way he taunted RR management was hilarious.

Trade, Not Trade, Repeat

Over the last few weeks, Sanju Samson’s reports have been everywhere, whether it is Instagram, Telegram, Twitter, or even WhatsApp. In the beginning, it was reported that Samson is expected to leave Rajasthan Royals, and Chennai Super Kings will go for him. Just a few days after the same, reports came that Samson doesn’t want to leave RR.

Now tomorrow or day after tomorrow another news will come from the source that Rajasthan Royals do not want to trade Sanju Samson, they want to keep him with them, this news will continue for a month😁

And now, reports are coming yet again that the Rajasthan Royals and Sanju Samson are set to part ways in the IPL Trade Window. In this scenario, a fan tweeted saying that Samson’s trade wars news will be coming for the next few months, too, for the pages to gain more engagement. He didn’t choose to target Samson, but instead targeted all the pages posting his news.

Samson’s Exit — News to Him Too

According to the reports, it is being said that Sanju Samson has asked Rajasthan Royals to release him, and he does not want to continue with the team in future seasons. Since these are just reports and nothing has been made official, fans have started to wonder whether Sanju Samson is aware of such information or not.

To this, an X (formerly known as Twitter) account posted a meme for Sanju, where he is asking about the meeting where he was not invited. With the news being related to Sanju Samson, this was a funny way to say that maybe Samson is not aware of such meetings, where he talked about leaving the team in this IPL Trade Window.

Prison FC

Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings are also known as the Prisoner teams of the Indian Premier League, as both of them have been banned from two IPL seasons, which were 2016 and 2017. The news related to Sanju Samson’s trade rumours has mostly involved Chennai and Rajasthan, as the former is keen to buy him ahead of the next season.

Taking this to the context of both teams getting banned in 2016-17, a Twitter user said that this is a chance to have Prison FC United in the Indian Premier League. This was a hilarious taunt to both franchises, knowing the fact that they have been banned for two years in the IPL, and now are engaged with each other for Sanju Samson’s trade.

Was Samson Holding RR?

With the reports of his release from the Rajasthan Royals going viral all over the internet, the reactions by fans have been mixed. Some want him to stay with the Rajasthan Royals for a longer period of time, while others want him to join teams such as the Chennai Super Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders, or any other franchise.

Now RR can win IPL after so many years

— Batman (@andherekabaaaap) August 7, 2025

A Rajasthan Royals fan reacted to this situation, saying that it is now time for the team will go on to win the IPL and end its jinx, which has been going on since the inaugural edition of the tournament. Under Samson, the team has reached the playoffs twice, ending as the runners-up in 2022, but they have failed to lift the IPL title since 2008.

Orange Cap for Joy Goes to Parag

During the IPL 2025 season, Sanju Samson was unable to play the majority of the matches for the Rajasthan Royals after he suffered an injury. In his place, Riyan Parag was announced as the captain of the team by Rahul Dravid and management, but their performances kept falling. As a result, Rajasthan finished with just 4 wins in the previous IPL season.

But it seemed that Riyan Parag wanted to continue as the captain of the team, and with the reports of Sanju Samson’s exit, some fans also say that Riyan Parag is the happiest person right now. To this, he also attached a GIF of Riyan Parag dancing in front of the camera, in his OG style.

Samson in Yellow — Dhoni in Review?

As Sanju Samson is expected to leave Rajasthan Royals, Chennai Super Kings has shown its keen interest in getting him ahead of the next IPL season. With the team looking forward to some long-term options, Sanju Samson could be the perfect fit, as the team is also unaware which season could be the last for Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

To kya abb CSK me Mahi Maar Raha Ka Era End Ho Gya?

— Sanjeet Kumar (@sanjeet2004) August 7, 2025

Although this seems to be good news for CSK fans that Samson is expected to join their team in this Trade Window. But there is another side to this story, as a fan expressed his views by hilariously saying that they would not get to hear Mahi maar raha hai anymore from Aakash Chopra if Samson gets to the team. This also acted as a taunt to Dhoni’s batting position in the team, which keeps fluctuating.

Samson’s CSK Connection

Looking at all the news related to Sanju Samson leaving Rajasthan Royals, the Chennai Super Kings fans have started to get some hints, in the ideal Dhoni fan way. They want to know whether he will be a part of their team or not. To this, a Twitter user posted the stories of Sanju Samson, which he posted on his Instagram handle on June 17.

Sanju Samson posted this story on Instagram on June 17.

— Chandu Don (@chandudon420) August 10, 2025

It included photos of his gym session, and he talked about the hints of Samson joining CSK, but the hints were a bit hilarious. At first, he said that the gym’s background is yellow, indicating the colour of the CSK jersey, and he went on to say that even the dumbbell, which he posted, has “Fitness” written on it, which has 7 letters.
