Overview
- Gujarat Titans have rejected Chennai Super Kings’ approach for Washington Sundar, with head coach Ashish Nehra not entertaining a trade.
- The stance was set before Sundar’s unbeaten 49 in Hobart, a performance that has further boosted his valuation ahead of the IPL 2026 window.
- Reports indicate a KL Rahul switch from Delhi Capitals to Kolkata Knight Riders is unlikely, with DC disinclined to consider anything short of an exceptional offer.
- Kolkata’s pursuit of an Indian wicketkeeper-batter has hit a wall because the team is unwilling to include mainstays like Rinku Singh or Varun Chakravarthy in deals.
- Teams must submit retention lists by November 15, compressing negotiations and increasing the likelihood that unresolved discussions shift to the auction.
