- Franchise officials say all three players have given consent and an Expression of Interest has been lodged, triggering the 48-hour processing timeline under IPL rules.
- Formal sign-off from the IPL/BCCI is still required, and because Curran is an overseas player, a No Objection Certificate from the ECB may be needed.
- CSK’s official birthday message to Sanju Samson has been read as a public signal of the move, though no team has issued an announcement.
- The November 15 retention deadline heightens urgency around the paperwork as teams shape mini-auction plans.
- If the trade is cleared, RR will need a new captain with reports highlighting Yashasvi Jaiswal and Dhruv Jurel, while R Ashwin says Samson would not be handed CSK captaincy immediately.
