It is being said that Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals (DC) had almost finalised the trade deal, but it was Ravindra Jadeja who initiated the trade talks after having multiple discussions with the lead owner, Manoj Badale.
At that time, Jadeja stepped in and expressed his desire to become the Rajasthan Royals captain, and on this condition, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK)-RR deal was finalised. The Chennai Super Kings was asked by the Indian all-rounder to reinitiate the trade talks with RR following Badale’s promise.
And then, CSK sent Jadeja along with Sam Curran to the Royals and got Samson in the much-hyped trade. Interestingly, the left-arm spinner joined the RR at INR 14 crore—INR 4 crores less than his contract with the CSK—and he accepted that because of the captaincy promise.
Yashasvi Jaiswal vs Dhruv Jurel vs Riyan Parag vs Ravindra Jadeja: Rajasthan Royals set for captaincy battle
After this season, Jurel had also expressed interest in RR’s captaincy. He already led Central Zone in the 2025 Duleep Trophy and India in the 2020 U-19 World Cup and 2019 U-19 Asia Cup. Jurel was also India-A's vice-captain during Australia's tour for the red-ball games.
Several times, Jaiswal admitted that he wants to lead the Royals in the IPL, and Jurel has already been groomed as the future captain by India, while Riyan Parag already leads the side. So, it will be interesting to see how the RR team management keeps all on the same page, as they have already promised captaincy to Jadeja.
Power struggle at RR could lead to IPL 2026 disaster
In IPL 2025, Parag was made captain against Samson’s wish, and the rift inside the team was clearly seen both on and off the field. That move divided the Royals, and they endured another poor season.
While Yashasvi is desperate for the captaincy, Jadeja wants to fulfil his desire to finish his IPL journey as captain, and Parag is also ready to jump in for the opportunity.
Rajasthan Royals’ every step will decide their fate in the IPL 2026, as keeping everyone on the same page is going to be really tough for them.
