Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) are actively engaged in negotiations for a potential trade deal involving Ravindra Jadeja and Sanju Samson ahead of the IPL 2026 season. The trade, once considered unlikely, has now progressed to advanced talks between the two franchises.
CSK has reportedly offered Jadeja, a former captain, in exchange for Samson, with both players valued at INR 18 crore each. While the deal is not yet finalized, it has garnered significant attention and speculation within the cricketing community.
Former cricketer Priyank Panchal cautioned CSK against trading Jadeja, emphasizing the potential consequences of such a move. Media reports have highlighted RR’s interest in including Jadeja in the trade deal, potentially reuniting him with the Royals after 16 years.
As the IPL 2026 Auction approaches, rumors of this high-profile swap have generated excitement among fans and experts alike. Both CSK and RR are looking to revamp their squads following a challenging previous season, with the trade deal offering a strategic opportunity for both franchises.
