CSK Interested in Sanju Samson Trade Ahead of IPL 2026 Auction
Imagine two big cricket teams, CSK and Rajasthan Royals, are talking about a special player swap.
CSK really wants Sanju Samson, a star player from the Rajasthan Royals.
Because Sanju is such a good player, it might cost CSK a lot of money or other good players to get him.
The teams are talking now because a big player auction is coming soon.
CSK might offer one of their own good players, like Ravindra Jadeja or Shivam Dube, to help make the deal happen.
They could also include some money.
It seems Sanju might be ready for a new team, and CSK wants to be the one to welcome him.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is reportedly interested in trading for Sanju Samson from Rajasthan Royals (RR).
The potential trade is being discussed ahead of the IPL 2026 auction scheduled for December 2025.
Sanju Samson is RR's most capped player and highest run-getter, retained for INR 18 crore in 2025.
CSK may offer high-value players like Ravindra Jadeja, Shivam Dube, Rachin Ravindra, or Sam Curran in the deal.
Reports suggest Sanju Samson might be looking to leave the Rajasthan Royals franchise.
