From close bond to no handshake: What happened between Sanju Samson and Sreesanth

The bond between Sanju Samson and S Sreesanth was once close, with Sreesanth playing a pivotal role in helping the young Sanju secure a spot with the Rajasthan Royals. However, a video from the Kerala Cricket League final at Greenfield Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram recently showed the two not exchanging a handshake during the presentation ceremony.

This moment sparked speculation among fans as to whether there was a rift between the two. Despite the viral video, neither Sanju nor Sreesanth has publicly addressed the incident or confirmed any rift between them. Sreesanth's recent comments, however, have added fuel to the fire. He claimed that he had introduced Sanju to then Rajasthan Royals coach Rahul Dravid and helped arrange flight tickets for Kerala cricketers to attend trials.

Sreesanth also disputed a previous account from Sanju, stating that he did not receive a direct call from Dravid to join the team. While Sanju has historically given Sreesanth credit for helping him early in his career, the differing accounts have left the exact nature of their relationship uncertain. For now, all that is certain is that Sanju Samson and S Sreesanth did not exchange a handshake at the KCL final, and the reason behind this action remains a mystery.
