Top 3 biggest trade deals in IPL history
The total transaction value of the Pant-Kuldeep deal stands at INR 28.25 crore, with the wicketkeeper-batter getting the bigger chunk out of the two. But has it made the biggest IPL trade deals?
1. Sanju Samson, Ravindra Jadeja, Sam Curran (RR & CSK) IPL 2026: INR 18 crore
While a lot of trade deals may come and go, the one where Rajasthan Royals gave away their skipper and legend Sanju Samson to get Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran in return for a hefty sum of INR 18.00 crore will certainly remain among the biggest deals, not in terms of value, but in terms of the players involved.
While Samson had been the poster boy for RR over the years, Jadeja and Curran added immense value and experience as all-rounders to the CSK set-up. However, both franchises thought otherwise and announced a major trade just weeks ahead of the retentions being finalised for the nineteenth edition. Now, Samson is also reported to become the captain of CSK from the 2027 season onwards.
