List of biggest player swaps in IPL History
Over the years, the Indian Premier League (IPL) has seen some interesting player swaps. Even ahead of the IPL 2026 mini-auction, the tournament witnessed one of the biggest player exchanges ever.
IPL 2026: Sanju Samson for Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran
Sanju Samson, who was retained by Rajasthan Royals for INR 18 crore ahead of the IPL 2025 mega-auction, reportedly wanted a release from the franchise after the end of last season. The inaugural champions were in the market, seeking potential players they could add to their line-up in exchange for Samson. Eventually, they struck a deal with Chennai Super Kings, signing experienced all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran in exchange for the Kerala wicketkeeper-batter. This turned out to be one of the biggest player swaps in IPL history.
