The trade deal between the Rajasthan Royals and the Chennai Super Kings has suffered a major blow. With Samson and Jadeja being involved in a potential swap deal, the IPL rules have caused a major hurdle for the teams. Rajasthan Royals might have to give up another player in this deal.

Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings have maintained themselves on the headlines together. And it is all possible due to the trade deal involving Ravindra Jadeja and Sanju Samson. Both players are involved in a swap deal, with Samson going to CSK, and Jadeja

But now it seems that this trade deal involving Samson and Jadeja might have encountered another obstacle. And this is due to the IPL rules related to the overseas players. This also weighs on how the trade could possibly take place between the two teams, or they will terminate the swap deal before it takes place.

1. Samson Jadeja Deal

The deal involving Sanju Samson and Ravindra Jadeja has been on the news for a while.

They needed to have some strategic changes for the next season, which could help them for a better

Chennai Super Kings wanted to have a top-order batsman who could also keep the wickets. This came due to the reason that it is unclear for how long MS Dhoni will play in the IPL. And for the Rajasthan Royals, the team's management had some internal rifts with Sanju Samson. A few weeks earlier, it was also confirmed that Samson doesn't want to continue with the team.

So, the trade deal between the Chennai Super Kings and the Rajasthan Royals started to take place. CSK had already shown interest in having Samson on their team. But Samson was already worth 18 crores, which meant that the CSK would also have to compromise on one of their big stars. Eventually, this turned out to be

But Rajasthan Royals demanded Sam Curran and Ravindra Jadeja both for the trade deal to take place. At first, it looked like the deal might not take place, noting the conditions put forward by the Rajasthan Royals. However, this was eventually accepted, as the deal started

According to the reports, the deal between Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals had started to take place. All the agreements between the teams were being done, as fans waited for it to be made official. At the same time, Ravindra Jadeja’s official Instagram handle also got removed mysteriously.

2. Trade Deal Encounters a Barrier

Just when fans had waited for the trade deal between Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals to be confirmed, a new barrier entered for Rajasthan Royals. With this trade deal, the Rajasthan Royals were likely to get another overseas player to their line-up, in the form of Sam Curran. And this also became an obstacle for the team in this deal.

Overseas Players in Rajasthan Royals:

• Shimron Hetmyer
• Lhuan-dre Pretorius
• Jofra Archer
• Nandre Burger
• Fazalhaq Farooqi
• Kwana Maphaka
• Wanindu Hasaranga
• Maheesh Theekshana

According to the IPL rules, each team can have a maximum of 8 overseas players in its line-up. For the Rajasthan Royals, this criteria has already been completed, leaving no room for Sam Curran to make his entry. In order to have Curran to their team, the Rajasthan Royals will have to compromise on one of their overseas players.

3. Who Could RR Release?

Now that the Rajasthan Royals have 8 overseas players already in their squad, the question is who could be released. For this, there are some probable names which might be released by the team to complete the Samson Jadeja deal. And these names Maheesh Theekshana and Wanindu Hasaranga.

While it is unclear which player could be released, fans will now be waiting to see how Rajasthan will be compromising. Both of them have been top-quality spinners for the team, but may not be available for them in the next season. Moreover, there were issues related to Sam Curran’s price, which was 2.4 crore rupees. For this, Rajasthan will be eager to put up a great deal ahead of the Chennai Super Kings.
