The Rajasthan Royals (RR) were involved in one of the biggest trades in IPL history ahead of the 2026 auction. The franchise traded their captain, Sanju Samson, in exchange for all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran. Most of the discussion has focused on Jadeja and Samson. However, RR’s signing of Sam Curran has gone largely unnoticed. The 27-year-old recently impressed everyone with his outstanding performance in the International League T20 (ILT20) 2025/26, both as a player and as a captain.

Curran finished the tournament as the Player of the Tournament. He scored 397 runs and took seven wickets in 12 matches. He also played a key role in the final, scoring an unbeaten 74 off 51 balls and leading the Desert Vipers to the title against MI Emirates. With Samson no longer part of the squad, RR are now looking for a new captain for IPL 2026, which is only a few months away.

Keeping this in mind, here are three reasons why Rajasthan Royals should consider appointing Sam Curran as their captain for IPL 2026.

1. Most Experienced IPL Captain in the Squad

Sam Curran is the most experienced IPL captain among the current Rajasthan Royals squad. Names like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag, and Ravindra Jadeja have been suggested as possible captaincy options, but none of them have a strong leadership record in the IPL. Jaiswal has never captained an IPL side, while Jadeja and Parag have modest records, with just two wins in six matches as captains.

In comparison, Curran has led the Punjab Kings at different stages during the 2023 and 2024 IPL seasons. He has captained 11 IPL matches, recording five wins and six losses. Based on experience and results, Curran stands out as the most reliable captaincy option available to RR for the 2026 season.

2. Captaincy Brings Out the Best in Sam Curran

Sam Curran has often delivered his best performances when entrusted with leadership roles. This was evident in the recent ILT20, where he excelled both as a player and as captain. He also enjoyed a highly successful campaign as Surrey’s captain in the 2025 Vitality Blast.

During that tournament, Curran scored runs at an average of over 26 with a strike rate of 142.57 and took 21 wickets in 15 matches. His leadership played a key role in Surrey finishing at the top of their group with 11 wins from 14 games. Statistically, Curran’s T20 batting average improves significantly when he captains a side, rising to 34.71 compared to 25.62 when playing without captaincy duties.

A similar trend is visible in the IPL. As captain, Curran has averaged close to 28 with the bat and under 30 with the ball, which is notably better than his overall IPL figures. Appointing him as captain could help RR get the best possible output from the all-rounder.

3. Proven Winner with Strong Leadership Credentials

Sam Curran has consistently been part of successful teams in T20 cricket. Apart from his recent ILT20 triumph, he played a key role in the Oval Invincibles’ title-winning campaigns in the Hundred, including their third consecutive title last season. He was also a member of Chennai Super Kings’ title-winning squad in IPL 2021 and was named Player of the Tournament during England’s victorious T20 World Cup campaign in 2022.

Rajasthan Royals have been searching for their second IPL title since their historic win in 2008. Although they have come close on a few occasions, consistency has often eluded them. With Curran’s winning experience and leadership qualities, RR may find the direction and momentum needed to change their fortunes in the 2026 IPL season.

The Desert Vipers started the new ILT20 season with a strong win, beating the Dubai Capitals by four wickets in the tournament opener on Tuesday, December 2, in Dubai. The Vipers would have preferred to lose fewer wickets, but they successfully chased 151, thanks to opener Andries Gous’ powerful knock of 58 off just 36 balls. The defending champions struggled to gain momentum throughout their innings, except for a brief period when Rovman Powell got going.

The Capitals kept losing wickets throughout their 20 overs. The wicket-taking started in the third over, bowled by Naseem Shah. Two balls later, Vipers’ stand-in captain Sam Curran took a stunning catch off his own bowling. He bowled a fuller delivery to Gulbadin Naib, which swung in slightly. Naib tried to play straight, but the shot went toward mid-on and stayed in the air for a moment.

Curran ran in the opposite direction and used his reflexes to catch it with his right hand. He was thrilled and teased Naib with the latter’s signature 'flexing biceps' celebration. The whole team was ecstatic, and Curran was delighted to take a wicket in his first over while also leading the side.

“We had too many battles last year. You just kind of laughed them off there, but I'm sure that battle will continue. It's all fun and games, but luckily that one stuck,” Curran said, reflecting on his duel with Naib and taking a spectacular catch off his own bowling.

Openers Andries Gous and Fakhar Zaman dominated the chase from the start, putting together a 50-run partnership in just 28 balls during the powerplay. Their aggressive start set the tone for the innings. The Vipers needed only small contributions thereafter, which Max Holden and Dan Lawrence provided, guiding the team to a four-wicket victory with one over to spare.

<![CDATA[Chennai Super Kings (CSK) makes official statement on Sanju Samson’s trade ahead of IPL 2026]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/chennai-super-kings-csk-makes-official-statement-on-sanju-samson-s-trade-ahead-of-ipl-2026/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/chennai-super-kings-csk-makes-official-statement-on-sanju-samson-s-trade-ahead-of-ipl-2026/ Sat, 15 Nov 2025 12:07:30 GMT

Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have finalized the player trade that will see the former side’s captain and wicket-keeper batter, Sanju Samson, heading to the five-time champions in exchange for the two premier all-rounders, Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran, as the committee confirmed on November 15.

Samson, who led the Royals from 2021 until the previous season, had been retained for a price of INR 18 crore ahead of IPL 2025. Super Kings also retained Ravindra Jadeja for the same amount, while they had collected the services of Curran in the auction for INR 2.4 crore. Samson will go to CSK for the same fee, but Jadeja’s fee has been converted to INR 14 crore.

“A transition in a team's journey is never easy. Trading out a player like Ravindra Jadeja, who has been an integral part of the franchise for more than a decade, and Sam Curran was one of the toughest decisions we have taken in the team's history. The decision was taken with mutual understanding with both Jadeja and Curran.CSK managing director, KS Viswanathan, expressed in an official statement.

CSK trade Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran with Sanju Samson ahead of IPL 2025

Samson spent 11 years at the Royals, but he had indicated after IPL 2025 that he was looking for a change and wanted to be released by the Royals. For Jadeja, it’s a comeback to the franchise with whom he started his IPL career, in the very first season in 2008.

“We also welcome Sanju Samson, whose skill set and achievements complement our ambitions. This decision has been made with great thought, respect, and a long-term vision. We are deeply grateful for Jadeja's extraordinary contributions and the legacy he leaves behind. We wish both Jadeja and Curran the best for the future.Kasi addressed.

Jadeja has been one of the mainstays of the Super Kings since 2012. The all-rounder has been a part of the three IPL-winning CSK squads- in 2018, 2021, and 2023. The left-arm spinner has taken over 150 wickets for the Super Kings and has also notched over 2300 runs for the franchise.

The New Zealand vs England T20I series has reached its business end. Overall, England has an advantage with a win in the 2nd T20I, and the 1st T20I ended without a result. England took control of the 2nd T20I by dominating with their bat, and their bowlers prevented the opposition from completing the chase.

New Zealand chose to bowl first after winning the toss in the 2nd T20I match. The decision worked against the team as their bowlers failed to control the opposition's run rate. When it came to the Kiwis' batting unit, they were unable to form partnerships.

England have named their playing XI for the first T20I against New Zealand, which will be played in Christchurch on Saturday, October 18. The team was announced two days before the match. Harry Brook will return as captain after missing the Ireland tour. Most of the squad is the same as the one that played against South Africa in Manchester last month, with just a few changes.

Jordan Cox, who scored his first T20I fifty against Ireland, keeps his place at No.
7. Brydon Carse comes into the side in place of Jofra Archer. Cox replaces Will Jacks, who is being rested as England manage his workload ahead of the Ashes. Both Cox and Sam Curran impressed during *The Hundred* for the Oval Invincibles, which helped them earn their spots in the team. Cox, who was named Player of the Tournament and hit a quick 35-ball 55 against Ireland, will continue as a middle-order batter.


Curran will play a flexible role in the batting order alongside Tom Banton. Adil Rashid and Liam Dawson will handle the spin duties, with Jacob Bethell as an extra option. The pace attack will be led by Curran, Carse, and Luke Wood.

England will play three T20Is against New Zealand the first two in Christchurch on October 18 and 20, followed by the final game in Auckland on October 23. The two sides will then meet again for a three-match ODI series on October 26, 29, and November 1.

<![CDATA[CSK To Release Sam Curran Ahead of IPL 2026 Mini Auction? ‘Nothing’s Official Till It’s Confirmed’]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/csk-to-release-sam-curran-ahead-of-ipl-2026-mini-auction-nothing-s-official-till-it-s-confirmed/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/csk-to-release-sam-curran-ahead-of-ipl-2026-mini-auction-nothing-s-official-till-it-s-confirmed/ Sat, 11 Oct 2025 16:17:57 GMT

IPL 2025 was a very bad season for Chennai Super Kings. They finished last in the 10-team standings and did not qualify for the playoffs for the second year in a row. They started the season with a win over Mumbai Indians but then went through a losing streak. MS Dhoni had to take over as captain after Ruturaj Gaikwad missed the season due to injury.

Looking ahead to IPL 2026, the five-time champions may change their team. They could let go of some players, including Sam Curran, Deepak Hooda, Vijay Shankar, Rahul Tripathi, and Devon Conway, according to Cricbuzz.

CSK Responds to Player Release Rumours

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) quickly reacted to the rumours by joining the “we’ve updated the bio” trend on X (formerly Twitter).

“Nothing’s official till you see it here,” says CSK’s updated bio, after reports suggested they might release several players ahead of the next season.

CSK signed Sam Curran for Rs 2.5 crore at last year’s IPL mega auction. He played five matches, scoring 114 runs at a strike rate of 135.71 and took only one wicket. Curran has played for two IPL teams so far – CSK and Punjab Kings.

IPL 2026 Auction Details

The IPL auction for 2026 may be held in the second or third week of December. The IPL Governing Council has not confirmed the date yet, but December 13-15 is the likely window.

The last two IPL auctions were held overseas – in Saudi Arabia (2025) and Dubai (2024). All 10 franchises must announce their retained and released players by November 15.

Australia all-rounder Cameron Green is expected to be a top pick at the auction. Many teams are interested in him. Green has played for Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru but missed last season due to injury.

<![CDATA[Know potential releases of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) ahead of IPL 2026 auction]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/know-potential-releases-of-chennai-super-kings-csk-ahead-of-ipl-2026-auction/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/know-potential-releases-of-chennai-super-kings-csk-ahead-of-ipl-2026-auction/ Fri, 10 Oct 2025 14:14:06 GMT

The five-time champions of the Indian Premier League, Chennai Super Kings (CSK), didn’t go through a great season in 2025, even in the leadership of their successful leader, MS Dhoni, who took over the responsibility after their first-choice leader, Ruturaj Gaikwad, was ruled out of the season from the third week. For the very first time in history, CSK finished at the bottom of the points table. 

There is speculation on whether Dhoni would make himself available for the new season, having featured in the last IPL edition as an uncapped player for a price of INR 4 crore. However, the reports have claimed that the franchise is going to release several players ahead of the next mini auction, which is expected to be held in the second and third week of December.

Among the players reportedly on the release list are Deepak Hooda, Vijay Shankar, Rahul Tripathi, Sam Curran, and Devon Conway. The franchise already has a purse of INR 9.75 crore following the retirement of Ravichandran Ashwin from the league. 

Chennai Super Kings to release Sam Curran and Devon Conway ahead of IPL 2026 auction

The left-arm pace bowling all-rounder of England, Sam Curran, who got back to his old franchise for a price of INR 2.40 crore, smashed 114 runs in five innings at a strike rate of 135.71 with one fifty while picking up just one wicket at an economy rate of over 11. That’s the same case with Conway, who collected only 156 runs in six innings at a strike rate of 131.09 in the previous season.

None of the Indian batters were successful in the middle order for the Super Kings, and that never helped them to gain success against the spinner, which at the end put pressure on their lower order to deliver on every single occasion.

The IPL 2026 auction is expected to be held between December 13 and 15, as the teams are asked to provide their list of retentions by November 15. The last two editions’ auction was held outside India in Dubai (2023) and in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia (2024). There is, however, no news on where the upcoming auction will take place.

England chased down their target of 197 with 14 balls remaining on Wednesday and once again they have opener Phil Salt to thank for producing a brilliant display of hitting at the top of the order. Salt struck 10 fours and 4 sixes in his 89 runs from 46 balls but actually played second-fiddle at the start of the innings with former skipper, keeper-batter Jos Buttler hitting 28 runs from only ten balls.

On the other hand, Ireland were on the receiving end of the result in Malahide on Wednesday, they can be proud of their performance and will bring two half-centurions from that match into Friday's contest. It was an impressive batting display, aided by some poor bowling from the visitors, with Ireland posting 196/3 although with the benefit of hindsight, the hosts would probably have wanted an additional 20-25 runs

David Willey was the star for Northants Steelbacks that day and he is likely to play a key role with both bat and ball as they go up against the all-conquering Surrey team in this quarter-final. Both teams are one victory away from booking their place at Final's Day a week on Saturday, and this game could come down to which side deals best with that pressure.
