Rajasthan Royals may lose six top players before next IPL, multiple franchises make approach for trade: Report
Rajasthan Royals could be headed for a major recalibration ahead of the 2026 IPL season, with at least six players from their squad reportedly drawing trade interest from multiple franchises during the ongoing transfer window. While the Royals have not confirmed any names, speculation is intensifying around the future of their long-time captain and marquee player, Sanju Samson. Rajasthan Royals' captain Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag during(PTI) There is an active interest in several of their players. RR themselves have initiated conversations with other teams regarding potential trades. 'There have been multiple approaches by multiple franchises for about six of our players. Similarly, we have reached out to other teams for possible options,' a team insider told PTI. 'The principle is simple: every team is open to moves that can strengthen their squad — Rajasthan Royals are no different.' The development comes as IPL franchises begin long-term squad restructuring ahead of next year's mega auction. The trading window, which opened on June 4 — a day after the IPL 2025 final — remains open until a week before the 2026 auction, giving teams ample time to explore strategic deals. Among the names circulating in trade discussions, Sanju Samson stands out. A pivotal figure for RR since 2013 and their captain in recent seasons, Samson could become one of the most sought-after players if the Royals are open to parting ways. Internally, the emergence of Dhruv Jurel, who has impressed both as a wicketkeeper and with the bat, offers RR a strong succession plan. Two franchises that could be especially keen on a player like Samson are Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). CSK are preparing for a future beyond MS Dhoni, who will be 45 by the time IPL 2026 begins. Meanwhile, KKR may be reconsidering their wicketkeeping options, with Quinton de Kock and Rahmanullah Gurbaz yet to deliver consistent performances over an entire campaign. Although CSK CEO Kashi Viswanathan declined to comment and RR have remained tight-lipped about specifics, there is growing belief in league circles that high-profile moves could be on the horizon. The Royals are also facing questions about their leadership direction. With Samson's future uncertain, Riyan Parag has emerged as a possible candidate to take the reins. Parag, who briefly led the side during Samson's absence last season, was seen by some as a surprising choice — especially with rising star Yashasvi Jaiswal in the squad. But Parag's strong connect with Assam and the Royals' growing presence in Guwahati may offer a strategic rationale for his elevation. What is a player trade in IPL? IPL's trading ecosystem allows for a variety of player movements: direct swaps, value-adjusted trades, and all-cash deals aimed at freeing up purse space before the auction. Once the 2026 auction concludes, the window will reopen and remain active until a month before the season begins. In this context, the Royals' willingness to entertain offers — and the reported interest from rival franchises — suggests that a wider reshuffle could be in play. With a mix of young talent and experienced campaigners, RR remain a franchise with considerable trading leverage. What remains to be seen is whether the Royals choose continuity or disruption — and if Samson, one of the most recognizable faces of the team, remains central to their plans.

Prima Facie...RCB Is Responsible For...: CAT Blames IPL 2025 Champions For Bengaluru Stampede; Check Full Statement
The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) on Tuesday found that the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are "prima facie responsible" for the stampede that occurred on June 4 outside the M Chinnaswamy Stadium during the team's IPL 2025 victory celebrations and led to the death of 11 people and left several others injured. More than 2 lakh fans gathered around the MG Road and Cubbon Road areas near the stadium M Chinnaswamy Stadium after RCB announced a victory parade and a fan engagement programme to celebrate the team's maiden IPL trophy win. The chaotic celebrations turned into a full-blown tragedy, leading to the loss of lives, injuries and trauma for people. While hearing a petition filed by Additional Commissioner of Police Vikash Kumar Vikash, who had been suspended in the aftermath of the Bengaluru incident, the CAT observed that RCB's lack of coordination was a key factor behind the chaos. "Prima facie it appears that the RCB is responsible for the gathering of about three to five lakh people. The RCB did not take the appropriate permission or consent from the Police. Suddenly, they posted on social media platforms and as a result of aforesaid information the public were gathered," noted the Tribunal. Notably, RCB on their social media handles had posted about the parade and the fan engagement on the morning of June 4. The CAT noted that the police department was not given adequate notice or time to make the necessary security arrangements for a large gathering. "It cannot expected from the Police that within a short time of about 12 hours the Police will make all arrangements required in the Police Act or in the other rules. Police personnel are also human control the aforesaid type of gathering and for making the proper arrangements sufficient time should be given to the Police," the CAT observed, as reported by Cricbuzz. The Tribunal further mentioned the lack of formal communication from the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA). "But neither the information was given to the Police for making the arrangements nor the permission was applied or granted by the Police. The KSCA submitted a letter which also did not contain any request for granting the permission or for making the arrangements. The letter shows only the information regarding the intention. Therefore, it was not expected from the Police that upon the basis of letter submitted before the Station In-charge of one Police Station, the Police will make all arrangements all of a sudden," the Tribunal noted. RCB, who had clinched their maiden IPL title on June 3 after defeating Punjab Kings in the final, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, haven't said anything on the development so far. Earlier, KSCA secretary A Shankar and treasurer ES Jairam had stepped down from their posts, accepting moral responsibility for the incident.
