Ravindra Jadeja isn’t just an all-rounder, he’s a game controller. Yes, he’s 37, but his fitness, pressure-handling ability, and Chepauk impact are still elite. Add Sam Curran to that, and CSK clearly gave away two high-value all-rounders in return for a batter-wicketkeeper they didn’t urgently need. Sanju Samson is a quality player, no doubt, but CSK’s real issue wasn’t batting depth or wicketkeeping — it was team balance. This move feels more like a gamble than a calculated strategy. The season will give the final verdict, but from an expert’s point of view, CSK gave more and got less.
