What Happened So Far
According to multiple reports (TOI, Express Sports, ESPNcricinfo):
Samson for Stubbs deal cancelled
- Rajasthan Royals wanted Arshin Kulkarni + Sameer Rizvi, but CSK did not agree.
- So the Stubbs–Samson swap fell apart.
RR asked for Dube + Brevis; CSK rejected
- RR demanded Shivam Dube + Dewald Brevis along with Samson trade.
- CSK declined the offer immediately.
CSK then offered Jadeja + Sam Curran for Samson
- A massive movement:
CSK → RR: Ravindra Jadeja + Sam Curran
RR → CSK: Sanju Samson
RR responded with a new demand
RR are now asking for:
Ravindra Jadeja + Matheesha Pathirana in exchange for Samson.
This is where talks currently stand.
Could This Be the Biggest Trade Ever in IPL History?
A potential deal involving:
Sanju Samson
Ravindra Jadeja
Sam Curran
Matheesha Pathirana
…would absolutely become the largest trade in IPL history, both in terms of player value and team impact.
Fans on social media are divided — some calling it “game-changing”, others calling it “unthinkable”.
If finalized, the 2026 IPL season could start with the biggest shake-up Indian franchise cricket has ever seen.
