Sanju Samson Trade: KKR Offer 2 Indian Players In Exchange To Rajasthan Royals

written by Atharva Jori

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have reportedly offered 21-year-old batting star Angkrish Raghuvanshi and India all-rounder Ramandeep Singh in a prospective trade deal with Rajasthan Royals (RR) for their captain, Sanju Samson. According to Anandabazar Patrika, KKR only wants to lose one of them in exchange. Trading of players during the off-season has been available since 2009. However, it has become much more popular recently, as teams have grown and the competition has become more competitive. There are two types of trades available: all-cash, like Hardik Pandya moving to the Mumbai Indians from the Gujarat Titans in 2023, and player exchanges, where there’s a straight swap and the balance in book value is adjusted with cash. In Samson’s case, his book value, i.e., the salary he earns at RR, is Rs. 18 crore. Angkrish earns Rs. 3 crore while Ramandeep gets Rs. 4 crore. So if KKR were to trade only one of them, they would have to pay RR Rs. 15 or 14 crore, respectively, in addition. The report said RR has another alternative. They are open to making a deal with Chennai Super Kings, who are reportedly looking at Samson as a MS Dhoni heir. But, the report said, RR want one of skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad, senior all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, or middle-order star Shivam Dubey, which CSK don’t want. On paper, Samson seems like the perfect choice for KKR. He gives them a captaincy option after an uninspiring season under Ajinkya Rahane, a top-order hitter they have missed for a while, and solves their long-standing issue of not having a reliable wicketkeeper-batter. However, Angkrish and Ramandeep are players KKR have, if not scouted, at least brought out the best of and presented to the world. Both struggled for runs last season — Angkrish looked great on occasions but never got a settled top-three role in the team, which is his game, due to an abundance of options there — but were key to the previous title-winning campaign. RR have always liked building around young prospective international-level talents, too, and both Angkrish and Ramandeep fit the bill. However, only the latter solves their last season’s issue of a lack of lower-order spide.

CRICKET..!

Written by Atharva Jori Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players on a field, at the centre of which is a 22-yard (20-metre; 66-foot) pitch with a wicket at each end, each comprising two bails (small sticks) balanced on three stumps. Two players from the batting team, the striker and nonstriker, stand in front of either wicket holding bats, while one player from the fielding team, the bowler, bowls the ball toward the striker's wicket from the opposite end of the pitch. The striker's goal is to hit the bowled ball with the bat and then switch places with the nonstriker, with the batting team scoring one run for each of these exchanges. Runs are also scored when the ball reaches the boundary of the field or when the ball is bowled illegally. The fielding team aims to prevent runs by dismissing batters (so they are "out"). Dismissal can occur in various ways, including being bowled (when the ball hits the striker's wicket and dislodge...
