IPL 2026: Jadeja-Samson trade talks intensify as RR seek Brevis too

Sanju Samson and Ravindra Jadeja

Five-time champions Chennai Super Kings and inaugural winners Rajasthan Royals are reportedly in advanced stages of negotiations ahead of the 2026 IPL, with CSK trading Ravindra Jadeja for Sanju Samson. Both Jadeja and Samson are valued at Rs 18 crore each, and the deal may already be nearing completion.

However, Rajasthan Royals are reportedly not in favour of a direct player swap. They are said to be demanding the inclusion of an additional player, which could ultimately become a major obstacle in finalising the agreement, as per a Cricbuzz report.

The report stated that the Rajasthan Royals are reportedly demanding South African youngster Dewald Brevis, along with Jadeja, as part of the deal.
