The IPL auction has been scheduled for December, and the retention list has to be finalized in November, which makes the window available for any trades. Cameron Green, on the other hand, has so far been cited as the star attraction of the mini-auction.
Sanju Samson had asked the Rajasthan Royals to release him ahead of the mini-auction, as he desired to explore his options within other franchises. But the buzz around Sanju Samson has gotten louder than expected, with many teams coming into the race.
Now, with just 2 weeks left for announcing the player retentions, Abhishek Tripathi from Dainik Jagran reports that there have been new trade talks between the Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals over a probable swap between their players.

Samson might be cited with captaincy roles for the Capitals
The Delhi Capitals bought in KL Rahul in the mega-auction, but the captaincy was handed over to their highest-paid retained player, Axar Patel. The Indian all-rounder did a fair job with the role, winning some games early on in the tournament.
The Capitals missed a definitive spot in the playoffs and hence would be targeting to revive their chances with a new skipper. Sanju Samson can be the ideal man for the role, having led the Royals to two playoffs as well as the finals in 2022.
