RR Asks Ravindra Jadeja, Ruturaj Gaikwad Or Shivam Dube For Sanju Samson Trade, Heres How CSK Responded : Report
Speculations around Sanju Samson trade is at level high and nothing has been officially confirmed. While rumours around the IPL continues to build. The chatter shows no signs of dying down, with multiple franchises actively involved Cricbuzz in a new report made some major revelations regarding the blockbuster trade. Following a Cricbuzz report that Samson formally requested to be traded or released, RR has reportedly reached out once again to several franchises to gauge interest. This round of talks is being personally overseen by RR's lead owner, Manoj Badale. Sources suggest Badale has even named specific players from other franchises as potential trade options. Some reports indicate that RR may be close to striking a deal with at least one team. Chennai Super Kings Trade Seems Unlikely Despite widespread rumors, the much-discussed possibility of a trade between RR and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) appears remote at present. RR is said to have requested either Ravindra Jadeja or Ruturaj Gaikwad in exchange for Samson conditions that CSK is reportedly not willing to entertain. Shivam Dube's name has also surfaced in trade discussions, but CSK is reluctant to part with the all-rounder or any core members of their squad. As of mid-August, a Sanju Samson move from Jaipur to Chennai looks unlikely unless CSK reopens negotiations or attempts to sign him through the auction. Uncertainty Around Auction Listing It is also unclear whether Samson's name will feature in the upcoming auction. With ongoing talks between RR and multiple franchises showing significant interest, the player could be signed directly through a trade deal before the auction or remain with RR. Ultimately, the franchise holds the final authority over trade or release decisions; the player's role is generally limited to submitting requests. Reasons Behind Samson's Desire to Move Samson has openly communicated to RR that he is seeking a "new direction" for his career. Tensions between the player and the Royals management have reportedly been growing, including disagreements over the release of Jos Buttler. 'Letting him go has been one of the most challenging decisions for me. During the England series, I told him over dinner that I was still not over it. If I could change one thing in the IPL, I would change the rule of releasing players every three years,' Samson told Star Sports before the last IPL season. RR opted to retain Shimron Hetmyer instead of Buttler, a decision that likely contributed to the strain. Samson Maintains Respectful Stance Despite the ongoing speculation, Samson has remained measured in public. On a recent podcast with Ravichandran Ashwin, he expressed his continued affection for the Royals setup: 'The Rajasthan Royals setup means a world to me.' He also praised Vaibhav Suryavanshi, the promising left-handed batter who displaced him at the top of the order. What Lies Ahead? If RR fail to strike a satisfactory trade deal, Samson might remain with them for IPL 2026, although insiders believe this is becoming increasingly unlikely. With Manoj Badale personally driving negotiations and Cricbuzz seeking official comments, the final resolution of the Sanju Samson trade saga remains uncertain

‘This is just the start,' says Dewald Brevis after record-breaking 125* off 56 balls vs Australia
Dewald Brevis's utterly incredible 125 not out off 56 balls in the second T20I against Australia was described by his captain Aiden Markram as a 'freakish display' of his talent, which has been spoken of since his days in Under-19 cricket. He broke the record for highest score by a South African in a T20I match, held by Faf du Plessis since 2015. Brevis said after the match that he sees the innings as only the beginning for him. 'This is just the start, if I could say it like that,' he told reporters. 'I just want to keep working hard, do the same things and the next match is the next match. So this 100, I can enjoy it now, think a bit about it, watch it maybe, but then when the next match comes, it's completely a new match and anything can happen.' Brevis may have drawn comparisons to South Africa great AB de Villiers as a teenager, which led to him being known as 'Baby AB'. However, a majority of his shots during his epic knock on Tuesday were clean strikes in the V, whereas De Villiers got the nickname of 'Mr.360' due to his ability to hit to all parts of the ground. De Villiers and fellow South Africa legend Dale Steyn were among those who expressed their amazement on their social media handles, with the former also saying that a number of Indian Premier League (IPL) teams missed out on a chance to sign Brevis in the 2024 IPL auction. Brevis had gone unsold and ended up starring for Chennai Super Kings when the franchise signed him on as an injury substitute. Brevis said that the way he played in Darwin was his 'natural' style of batting. 'I've hit thousands of balls and I just want to go out there, enjoy it and have fun and just watch it and then if it's there, it happens. I don't try to do it, I'm just trying to be myself and have fun and watch the ball and then it happens,' he said. Brevis, however, said that he decided to be himself and stick to his way of batting only about eight months ag0. 'I believe God blessed me with a talent to play like that, to play aggressively. Last year, on 28 December, I made that commitment. I got a few people, they know who they are, who I trust and the main thing was just to be the original Dewald and to be on that side of it and every ball, wherever it is, to watch it and to hit it,' he said.

'We Would Fight...': Star All-Rounder Reveals How Gambhir Treated Youngsters In England
Washington Sundar excelled in England with 284 runs and 7 wickets in 4 Tests. He praised captain Shubman Gill and coach Gambhir for their clear communication and calm leadership. Washington Sundar had a terrific time playing Test cricket in England. The young all-rounder was picked over Kuldeep Yadav to add depth to India's batting line-up. In return, the Tamil Nadu all-rounder produced some memorable performances. The English conditions are known to be a pacers' paradise, limiting Sundar's chances to bowl. However, he still managed to make a mark, taking seven wickets at an average of 38.57. He also scored 284 runs in 4 Tests at an average of 47.33, including his maiden Test hundred at Old Trafford, which helped India draw the game. With his batting prowess, he justified his selection over Kuldeep, who didn't feature in any of the five Tests of the series. Speaking to Wisden, Sundar lauded the camaraderie of captain Shubman Gill and coach Gambhir. The all-rounder said the duo were clear about their plans throughout the tour and managed the dressing room pretty well. 'Credit to them for having such a calm dressing room throughout the series. Their communication was precise and clear on what was expected. Both of them have a lot of belief in their players, and that helps in the bigger picture," Sundar said. Sundar further spoke about playing under Gambhir's guidance, expressing his satisfaction at seeing him happy after the series' end. '100%, he also has No. 5 on the back of his jersey. And obviously, he was an extremely elegant left-hander. The only thing I didn't enjoy was bowling to him in the IPL. He was super successful against me, but he is an amazing human being," he said. 'He has so much faith in all of us that we would fight at all times and win the game. Really glad to see him happy at the end of the series," Sundar added. Before the series, Gambhir faced criticism for losses to New Zealand and Australia. He answered back, leading a young Indian side to a 2-2 draw, clinching a thrilling 6-run win at the Oval. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
