CSK to Lose Jadeja to Sanju Samson? Trade Talks Heat Up!

There are strong rumours that Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are ready to release all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja as part of a trade deal with Rajasthan Royals (RR). Reports suggest that CSK are in talks to bring Sanju Samson from Rajasthan in exchange for Jadeja.

Amid these speculations, Jadeja’s Instagram account suddenly disappearing has become a major talking point among fans. It remains unclear whether the star all-rounder deactivated his account to avoid fan backlash after the trade rumours or if it was due to a technical issue.

The IPL trade market is buzzing with reports that Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings are in advanced discussions over a potential swap between Sanju Samson and Ravindra Jadeja. Initially, fans dismissed the speculation, believing CSK would never let go of their match-winning all-rounder. However, fresh reports suggest both teams are seriously exploring the deal as the trade window nears closure.

According to sources, both Sanju Samson and Ravindra Jadeja carry an equal valuation of ₹18 crore, making a direct swap financially balanced. But RR is reportedly pushing for an additional player — Dewald Brevis — as part of the trade. CSK, however, has refused to include Brevis, citing his immense potential and consistent performances this season.

With the trade window closing soon, all eyes are now on Rajasthan’s final decision. If RR agrees to the direct swap, it could turn into one of the biggest trade shocks in IPL history. But if negotiations fall apart, CSK is expected to retain their core lineup, keeping fans guessing about the next big twist in the IPL 2026 season.
