IPL 2026 Trade: The chances of Sanju Samson joining a new team in the next season of IPL are continuously increasing. Rajasthan Royals captain Samson had already informed the franchise about his intentions that he wants to be a part of some other team. Since then, there has been continuous speculation about Samson's new team. Recently a report claimed that discussions are going on between Rajasthan and Delhi Capitals regarding Samson. But now it seems that Samson's destination may be Chennai Super Kings instead of Delhi.

A report in Cricbuzz has revealed that talks have started once again between Rajasthan and Chennai regarding Sanju Samson. Even before this, there was a discussion between the two franchises regarding the trade of Samson, but then Rajasthan had demanded to include star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja from CSK in exchange of its captain, which was then rejected by Chennai. After this the discussion between the two franchises had stopped.
