In a massive new development amid the trade talk season ahead of IPL 2027, another buzz has emerged involving Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals over a potential trade deal.
Notably, Yashasvi Jaiswal, who has been at the centre of rumours about a possible trade by Rajasthan Royals ahead of the upcoming season, has attracted interest from the Kolkata Knight Riders franchise, as per a Times of India report by Sahil Malhotra.

As per the same TOI report, it has been understood that the Kolkata Knight Riders management have shared an idea with their Rajasthan Royals counterparts about trading an international all-rounder alongside two Indian players in exchange for Yashasvi Jaiswal's services.
Although the identities of the two Indian players involved in the proposed exchange have not yet been established, it has been understood that at least one Indian player would definitely be demanded by the Rajasthan Royals.
Meanwhile, the international all-rounder of interest to Rajasthan Royals is Cameron Green, one of the most expensive players currently in Kolkata Knight Riders' squad.
Which two other Indian players can KKR offer to Rajasthan Royals?
While no important or detailed trade deal discussions have been made public yet, there could be two potential discussions regarding the Indian players that KKR might be willing to release if Rajasthan Royals are keen on getting a like-for-like exchange for Yashasvi Jaiswal.
KKR might have to let go of batters like Sarthak Ranjan and Rahul Tripathi. Alternatively, Tejasvi Dahiya, another wicketkeeper-batter, alongside Luvnith Sisodia, could be two options that Kolkata Knight Riders might consider releasing as part of the Yashasvi Jaiswal trade deal.
Sarthak Ranjan didn't get a single match in IPL 2026, while Rahul Tripathi also failed to feature with the bat in the playing XI for Kolkata Knight Riders in any of the 14 group-stage matches they played. Tejasvi Dahiya, meanwhile, batted in two matches for KKR, scoring only 12 runs from two games while getting dismissed for just one in one of the matches.
