The possible move of Yashasvi Jaiswal from Rajasthan Royals (RR) to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) has reportedly been put on hold. Although it would have been the worst deal made by the Rajasthan Royals, the Lucknow Super Giants have refused to accept their demand ahead of the IPL 2027 auction.

Rajasthan Royals have reportedly asked Lucknow Super Giants to give them two fast bowlers, Mohammed Shami and Mohsin Khan, in return for Jaiswal. The demand has made things difficult, and there has been no positive response from the LSG management so far.

The trade talks reportedly started after Lucknow Super Giants approached Rajasthan Royals to discuss the possibility of bringing Yashasvi into their squad to strengthen their top order ahead of the IPL 2027. The left-handed opener is also said to be interested in joining LSG.

A chance of becoming LSG captain in the future was reportedly one of the reasons behind Yashasvi’s interest. However, Rajasthan Royals are not keen to release one of their key batters without getting a strong deal in return. The franchise reportedly wanted both Mohammed Shami and Mohsin Khan as part of the trade to improve their pace attack.

Shami brings years of international experience and has proved his quality at the highest level. On the other hand, Mohsin gives a team the option of a left-arm fast bowler. Both players have different qualities, and losing them together would be a big loss for the LSG.

The Lucknow Super Giants are reportedly not interested in letting go of both their fast bowlers to sign Yashasvi Jaiswal. Both Khan and Shami are key parts of LSG’s bowling attack, so releasing them would mean making major changes to the team's pace attack.

The LSG has not responded to RR’s further demand as reported by Sports Tak. The report suggested that the LSG have already completed their trade business for the upcoming 2027 season, which has potentially ended Yashasvi Jaiswal's trade deal talks with RR.

Worst deal sangakkara could've put up for RR & best for LSG but LSG still rejected it 🤣 Clown Vs Clown battle 🤣 Both dhurandhars playing for the other team. #IPL https://t.co/A1XW5Yl3rs

Yashasvi Jaiswal eyes new beginning in IPL

Yashasvi Jaiswal's IPL future has become a major talking point ahead of the IPL 2027 season. The 24-year-old, who started his journey with Rajasthan Royals for ₹2.4 crore in 2020, is now reportedly keen to take up an IPL captaincy role.

With Riyan Parag already handling leadership duties at RR, Jaiswal is interested in joining Lucknow Super Giants, who are searching for a long-term captain. However, the reported trade talks have hit a roadblock, as RR has demanded Mohammed Shami and Mohsin Khan in exchange for Jaiswal.

Jaiswal has scored 2593 runs in 83 IPL matches at a strike rate of 152.80, including two centuries and 18 fifties. His highest score is 124. After scoring 249 runs in 2021, he enjoyed a breakthrough 2023 season with 625 runs, a 13-ball fifty, and his maiden IPL century.

The left-handed batter scored 435 runs in 2024, 559 in 2025, and 427 in 2026. Rajasthan retained him for ₹18 crore ahead of the 2025 mega auction, as he has been a key part of their batting line-up.
