IPL 2026: Hope To Win More With This Current Group Of Players, Says Jadeja After Being Traded To RR

Chennai Super Kings: After coming to Rajasthan Royals (RR) from Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in a significant player trade ahead of the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL) retention deadline, veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja said he hopes to achieve greater success with the current group of players.

For Jadeja, being traded to RR marks an emotional homecoming for him. He was one of the brightest young talents during the franchise’s title-winning campaign in 2008 under Shane Warne’s captaincy. 17 years later, Jadeja returns to RR as one of the most accomplished all-rounders in the cricketing world

“Rajasthan Royals gave me my first platform and my first taste of victory,” said Jadeja. “Coming back feels special — it’s not just a team for me, it’s home. Rajasthan Royals is where I won my first IPL, and I hope to win more with this current group of players,” said the all-rounder, who joined RR for Rs 14 crore, in a statement released by the franchise on Saturday.
