The IPL 2026 trade speculations are heating up ahead of the mini auction. At the centre of it, the Sanju Samson saga with Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings remains the headline grabber.
Sanju Samson
is tipped to move away from Rajasthan Royals, and is possibly going to be traded with CSK, who are according to reports, will be letting Ravindra Jadeja go. Jadeja has been a long-term servant of CSK, and has seen their ups and downs over the years. The veteran Indian all-rounder initially came to CSK from the Rajasthan Royals and has won multiple titles with them.
RR have demanded Ravindra Jadeja along with another player, to let Samson go, and CSK already communicated that to Jadeja. If the deal materializes, the Gujarat-born will make the switch back to where it all started for him. Earlier, the deal was supposed to be off, but things have taken a turn in recent days.
Amid this, Ravindra Jadeja's official Instagram account has mysteriously disappeared amid intense trade deal speculations involving the Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals ahead of the IPL 2026 auction.
The disappearance of Jadeja's Instagram profile has fueled rumours about his future, as the talks of a potential swap deal between the two franchises, possibly involving Sanju Samson, have reached an advanced stage. Jadeja's Instagram handle "royalnavghan" cannot be found or accessed, adding intrigue and uncertainty about his career direction.
He made his IPL debut with Rajasthan Royals in 2008 and was part of their championship-winning squad that year. After stints with Kochi Tuskers in 2011 and a ban-related interruption, he joined Chennai Super Kings in 2012. Jadeja has been a key player for CSK, contributing to three IPL titles and briefly captaining the team in 2022. His association with CSK has lasted over a decade, making the current trade rumours significant.
Why has Ravindra Jadeja's Instagram Account Disappeared?
There is no specific reason which has come to the news so far regarding the disappearance of Jadeja's Instagram account. The player's account is likely not hacked but that can be a possibility as well. But it may well be another ploy for the veteran to announce himself as a Rajasthan Royals player if the deal gets virtually done.
