Overview
- Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals have filed the Expression of Interest for a swap sending Sanju Samson to CSK with Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran moving to RR, triggering the mandatory 48-hour process.
- A franchise official said consent has been secured from Samson, Jadeja and Curran, with all three having signed the necessary documents.
- As of Monday evening, IPL and BCCI leaders had not been formally notified, so final approval and public confirmation remain outstanding.
- Because Sam Curran is an overseas player, a No Objection Certificate from the England and Wales Cricket Board may be required before clearance.
- Financially, Samson and Jadeja are 18 crore retentions while Curran was a 2.4 crore buy, and negotiations evolved after RR’s earlier requests for Dewald Brevis and Matheesha Pathirana were declined.
