The Sanju Samson–Ravindra Jadeja swap deal between Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals has been completed, the IPL confirmed on Saturday morning. As part of the agreement, Rajasthan Royals will receive Ravindra Jadeja and England all-rounder Sam Curran, while Sanju Samson will join CSK ahead of the IPL retentions on 15 November.

The trade marks one of the biggest player movements in recent IPL history. Samson moves to Chennai for Rs 18 crore, while Jadeja returns to Rajasthan for Rs 14 crore. The shake-up follows two difficult seasons for CSK, a period in which the five-time champions failed to make the playoffs and repeatedly ran into the same problems: an ageing middle order, limited hitting power and a steady decline in the effectiveness of their once-dominant spin attack.
