S Sreesanth and Sanju Samson spark speculation after KCL final interaction

A viral video from the Kerala Cricket League (KCL) 2026 final presentation ceremony has sparked speculation regarding a potential rift between Kerala cricket figures S Sreesanth and Sanju Samson.

During the ceremony at Greenfield Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram, Sreesanth, a co-owner and mentor of the Aries Kollam Sailors, was seen shaking hands with various dignitaries on stage while appearing to walk past Samson, the league ambassador, without an acknowledgment or handshake. While fans on social media have questioned the nature of their relationship following the incident, neither party has issued a public comment.

The two have a long-standing professional connection, with Sreesanth having previously played a mentor-like role in Samson’s career. The KCL 2026 final saw the Thrissur Titans defeat the Calicut Globstars to claim the title.
