The Chennai Super Kings and Ravichandran Ashwin took a mutual decision to part ways after the IPL 2025 season, where Ashwin returned to the franchise from where he had started his campaign in the IPL. He was bought by the Super Kings for a whopping INR 9.75 Crores.
Chennai Super Kings settled for Washington Sundar and have landed an all-cash deal with the Gujarat Titans for a trade in the pre-season. Gujarat Titans might also be in their quest for a middle-order all-rounder, and the arrival of big Cameron Green in the mini-auction suggests an opening for them.

Sundar to pair along with Ravindra Jadeja for CSK after the duo's magnificent show for India
At this point, Washington Sundar would want to stay at the Gujarat Titans; however, since the Titans have agreed to the trade, he will have to be released. However, considering Sundar's recent antics in international cricket and his growing prominence in the Indian side, Washington Sundar could be a big budget move going into the mini-auction.
The two spin all-rounders from India have played a stunning hand with both bat and ball for India in Test cricket and will now pair for the first time in the IPL for CSK. Sundar, who hails from Tamil Nadu, is well aware of the conditions, and he will no longer be benched in the Chennai camp, as Chepauk often demands additional all-rounders.
Does the Sundar deal mean CSK is no longer interested in the Sanju Samson deal?
With Washington Sundar's inclusion in the CSK side, this might be an indication that CSK is no longer looking for a Sanju Samson trade. Even if they consider bringing in the wicket-keeper, then it would be only after he is released by the Royals into the mini-auction.
