Samson-Jadeja trade, Russell release shows all teams showed an inclination to change

- Rasesh Mandani

"Money has value, but in a league like IPL, loyalty has a greater value." So read an extract from a 2010 IPL ruling under which Rajasthan Royals' Ravindra Jadeja was banned for a year for attempting to sign with another franchise while under contract.

How dated the sentiment of that ruling now sounds can be understood from the squad overhauls many franchises orchestrated ahead of the retention deadline on Saturday for IPL 2026.

Andre Russell, 37, one of T20 cricket's MVPs whom Kolkata Knight Riders trusted through doping suspension and troubled knee was released for the players' auction.

Sanju Samson, 31, an out-andout Rajasthan Royals' product in whom the franchise believed more than the national selectors ever did, was traded out to Chennai Super Kings in a move that had been in the works for quite some time.
