However, on the eve of the match to be played against Lucknow Super Giants, Rajasthan Royals head coach Rahul Dravid dismissed rumors of any differences with captain Sanju Samson. He said that all these external things are baseless.

These speculations about the rapport between Sanju Samson and head coach Rahul Dravid started when a video went viral. Which Dravid was seen in a huddle with the team players during Rajasthan Royals' match against Delhi Capitals, in which there was a discussion on who would bat in the super over. Captain Samson was standing a little away from the huddle and when a fellow player asked him to join, he refused with a hand gesture.

Rahul Dravid said in a press conference before Rajasthan's match against Lucknow Super Giants on Saturday, 'I don't know where these reports are coming from. Sanju and I are on the same page. He is a very integral part of our team. He is involved in every decision and discussion. Sometimes when you lose a match and things don't go right, you have to face criticism and we can take it on our performance. But we can't do anything about this baseless talk. I am impressed by the hard work of these players. One thing that people do not understand is how much it hurts the players when they are unable to perform.'
