Overview
- Multiple reports say Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals have initiated the Expression of Interest, triggering the IPL’s standard 48-hour trade process.
- Franchise sources indicate written consent has been secured from Sanju Samson, Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran, though neither team has issued an official confirmation.
- A top board official told Hindustan Times the matter had not yet been formally placed before the BCCI as of Monday evening, leaving final processing and sign-off pending.
- Because Sam Curran is an overseas player, the proposed move may also require an ECB No Objection Certificate before clearance.
- With the Nov 15 retention deadline nearing, CSK and RR posted birthday messages for Samson as public chatter builds, with reported values of INR 18 crore for Samson and Jadeja and INR 2.4 crore for Curran shaping the swap.
