According to a report in\u00a0<em>Cricbuzz,\u00a0<\/em>the Samson trade discussion is back on Chennai\u2019s table.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col grow\">\n<div class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-1\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"f8e6b211-663f-416d-862e-fd28415f6381\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-5\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[1px]\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words dark markdown-new-styling\">\n<p data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"305\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Former India captain MS Dhoni has been involved in CSK\u2019s planning for IPL 2026 and, ahead of the retention deadline on Saturday, November 15, is expected to hold discussions with key team members, including CEO Kasi Viswanathan, skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad and coach Stephen Fleming.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span class=\"cf0\">As per the report, CSK and RR have reopened discussions over a potential trade involving Samson and it would not be surprising if a top CSK cricketer becomes part of the deal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span class=\"cf0\">The report further states that RR owner Manoj <\/span><span class=\"cf0\">Badale<\/span><span class=\"cf0\">, who arrived in Mumbai from London, is exploring all possibilities and has initiated talks with multiple teams, <\/span><span class=\"cf0\">including the Lucknow Super Giants, Kolkata Knight Riders, Delhi Capitals and<\/span><span class=\"cf0\">\u00a0CSK.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span class=\"cf0\">KKR, who have long been on the lookout for an Indian top-order batter capable of keeping wickets, see both Samson and KL Rahul as perfect fits.
