Discussions over a possible player trade between Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants have reportedly gathered momentum ahead of the 2027 Indian Premier League (IPL) season. Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami and England all-rounder Sam Curran are among the key names being considered in the proposed deal. According to reports, Shami could move to Rajasthan, while Curran may join Lucknow.
Lucknow spinner Manimaran Siddharth has also emerged as a potential part of the deal. Reports suggest that the proposed arrangement may involve more than a straightforward exchange of two players, with additional players and financial terms potentially included. However, neither franchise has officially confirmed any player transfer so far.
Sam Curran’s Fee May Delay Negotiations
According to reports, Curran is seeking a revision of his fee under the proposed trade, which is being viewed as one possible reason for the delay in negotiations. The England all-rounder did not participate in the previous IPL season, reportedly citing an injury, but was later seen playing county cricket in England.
Yashasvi Jaiswal Also in the Picture
There are also reports of discussions involving Rajasthan batter Yashasvi Jaiswal. Lucknow are reportedly interested in bringing him into their squad, while Rajasthan are said to be seeking another Indian fast bowler in return. No agreement has been reached on this proposal so far.
With franchises having an opportunity to reshape their squads ahead of the IPL 2027 auction, the reported negotiations between Rajasthan and Lucknow have attracted considerable attention among cricket fans. The final outcome will depend on the terms agreed upon by both teams and the players involved.
