New Delhi, Nov. 15 -- Chennai Super Kings (CSK) Managing Director Kasi Viswanathan has explained reasons for team's decision to trade Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran to Rajasthan Royals (RR) in exchange for Sanju Samson ahead of IPL 2026 season, in what comes as one of the most high-profile trades in the Indian Premier League history. The move surprised many fans given Jadeja's long association as one of CSK's key match-winners.

Jadeja and Curran will join RR in exchange for Samson moving to CSK. Samson, retained by RR for Rs 18 crore, will now represent CSK at the same price. Jadeja, also retained for INR 18 crore, will see his value adjusted to Rs 14 crore following the trade, while Curran remains at his existing fee of Rs 2.4 crore.
