In the wake of MS Dhoni's retirement, CSK's management is looking to rebuild the team, and acquiring Samson is part of ongoing conversations. However, Panchal cautioned that losing a star like Jadeja would be a massive blow to the team's spin bowling, leadership, and legacy. Additionally, CSK legend Suresh Raina has firmly stated, "Sir Ravindra Jadeja must stay with the team."Read Also; Faridabad Case: Rifle Found in Woman Doctor's Car; 12 Suitcases, 20 Timers found

CSK is reportedly in talks to acquire Samson from RR by swapping Jadeja (valued at ₹18 crore). RR has demanded the inclusion of Devon Conway or Dewald Brevis or another player in the package. The deal is likely to materialize before the IPL 2026 auction.
