It is being said that a key CSK player is likely part of the negotiations, and the franchise has already reached out to check if he is willing to move to Rajasthan. This kind of trade could allow both teams to balance their squads while giving players a fresh opportunity to make an impact.
A Cricbuzz report reads: “Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals have re-established contact over a potential trade involving Sanju Samson, and it would not be a surprise if a top CSK player is included in the deal. A word has been sent to the player to check if he is comfortable moving to RR.”
CSK to finalize retentions on November 10-11 as Sanju Samson trade talks heat up
With the IPL 2026 auction scheduled for the mid-December window, teams are looking to strengthen their lineups before the retention deadline ends on November 15.
Notably, the Royals had already asked for Ravindra Jadeja, Ruturaj Gaikwad, or Shivam Dube in a trade with CSK. The franchise has rejected Dube’s release, as he is their key T20 all-rounder and a long-term asset.
Now, RR may push for Jadeja or Gaikwad, but CSK is unlikely to let them go, given Jadeja’s long tenure and Gaikwad’s role as captain. Now, it remains to be seen who will leave CSK to bring Samson on to the board ahead of the auction.
