(Reuters) -Rajasthan Royals have traded their captain Sanju Samson to Chennai Super Kings in exchange for all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran in a significant trade ahead of the 2026 season, the Indian Premier League (IPL) said on Saturday.

India wicketkeeper-batter Samson has represented Rajasthan in 11 IPL seasons since his 2013 debut in the competition, having also spent two seasons at Delhi Capitals in 2016 and 2017. The 31-year-old led Rajasthan to the IPL final in 2022.
