Will Ashwin Join RR As Part Of Samson's Trade Deal? Ex-India Spinner Gives Big Update
Last Updated: Ashwin was signed for Rs 9.75 crore by CSK in the IPL 2025 mega auction, and in the cash-rich league this year, he played nine matches but was only able to take 7 wickets. Former Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin was part of the Chennai Super Kings' team in IPL 2025. He was signed for Rs 9.75 crore by the Chennai-based franchise ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction, and in the 18th edition of the world's richest franchise cricket league, he picked up seven wickets in nine matches for them in addition to scoring 32 runs with the bat. Ashwin's performance by his own standards was a very forgettable one in the IPL this year, and as a result there were talks about CSK releasing him ahead of the IPL 2026 auction. It was reported last week that Ashwin has asked CSK to release him, and there were also reports that he could join Rajasthan Royals, for whom he played from 2022 to 2024, as part of a trade deal for Sanju Samson. When asked if he is going to be part of CSK in the IPL next year by Vimal Kumar, Ashwin said, 'Mere hath mein kuch nahi hai. Maine sirf clarity manga hai… mera abhi communication kuch hua nahi hai. Clarity toh maine bahut pehle he manga. Maine kya kiya, mera role kaisa hai, mai kaise better kar sakta hu – ye sab sawal maine already puch liya hai kyuki maine last year 9 games khela tha. In all these years of playing in the IPL, that was the first year jisme maine sirf 9 games khela. Hamesha mein har game khela tha, jo bhi franchise ke liye mai khela. So clarity meri taraf se manga maine; IPL ke time par he mang liya tha." 'Abhi tak mujhe koi information nahi hai. Classified information nahi hai ki Sanju idhar (CSK) aa raha hai aur mai udhar (RR) ja raha hu." If CSK decide to trade Samson ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction, then the Chennai-based team will have to sign him for Rs 18 crore – the price for which Samson was retained by RR ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction. Or they can trade him in a player deal, but for that Ashwin won't be enough because Samson's price in IPL 2025 was Rs 18 crore, whereas Ashwin was signed for Rs 9.75 crore. CSK will have to give Rs 8.25 crore more to RR in addition to Ashwin or include players worth Rs 8.25 crore more to acquire Samson's services. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Bengaluru firm in talks with A.P. govt. to launch helicopter emergency medical services in State
International Critical Care Air Transfer Team (ICATT), a Bengaluru-based air ambulance services company, initiated discussions with the Government of Andhra Pradesh (GoAP) for launching its integrated helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) to fast-track trauma care services in the State. It conducted aero-medical drills in several Indian cities and is collaborating with the GoAP and leading tertiary hospitals to showcase HEMS, according to an official release. ICATT deploys flying ICUs — helicopters and aircraft equipped with advanced ICU infrastructure, surgical tools, and a trained aero-medical team. These airborne units are capable of delivering critical care at the site of trauma, particularly along highways, rural belts, and semi-urban areas, within the crucial golden hour, significantly improving the chances of survival for accident victims. Under HEMS, trauma victims and critically ill patients will be airlifted free of cost, ensuring timely access to lifesaving care. ICATT's air ambulance service, which is an India-specific adaptation of the U.K.'s HEMS model, has been successfully operating the government-funded PM Shri Air Ambulance Seva in Madhya Pradesh (M.P.). ICATT planned to replicate that model in other States by bringing together key departments including Fire Services, Police, and first-responder ambulance units to form a seamless emergency medical network. Prior to the M.P. contract, ICATT conducted aero-medical rescue operations in the deep jungles of the southern parts of Chhattisgarh and saved the lives of CRPF jawans who were fighting the Naxalites. ICATT founding directors Rahul Singh Sardar and Shalini Nalwad stated that HEMS represents a significant disruption in the emergency care landscape. In countries like the U.S.A., U.K., and across Europe, air ambulance teams were a standard part of trauma care. ICATT would bring to India the same global standard of care, where such services were not just desirable but essential. With access to advanced medical facilities still limited in many parts of the country, it (ICATT) believes that the introduction of HEMS would play a crucial role in reducing road accident fatalities and improving emergency response outcomes.
