Overview
- Cricbuzz reports Gujarat Titans declined to entertain Chennai Super Kings’ cash-trade talks for Washington Sundar, so no deal will be completed before the retention cut-off.
- GT head coach Ashish Nehra is understood to have refused to release the India all-rounder, ending prospects of a pre-deadline switch.
- Earlier chatter escalated after Krishnamoorthy Vignesh said the move was virtually confirmed, but Ravichandran Ashwin later clarified that Sundar was unaware of any trade discussions.
- GT bought Sundar for INR 3.20 crore and used him in six matches last season, yet the 2022 champions are reported to value him strongly.
- Sundar’s unbeaten 49 off 23 balls in Hobart has lifted his market stock, and coverage has speculated on possibilities such as a salary adjustment or a release request as teams file retentions by November 15.
