Amid widespread discussion of the confirmed IPL trade sending Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran to Rajasthan Royals in exchange for Sanju Samson, a misleading post circulated claiming that Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) had commented “Loyalty matters!!” under Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) official X account. The post sparked speculation that RCB was trolling the deal.
Upon verification, it was confirmed that the account responsible for the post was unauthorized and not affiliated with RCB. The official RCB X account has made no such statements, and the franchise has not engaged in any trolling or commentary related to the trade. The misleading post appears to have been created to capitalize on the excitement surrounding the IPL mini auction.
Both CSK and RR have officially confirmed the trade, and there is no involvement from RCB in the transaction. Fans are strongly advised to rely on verified team handles and reputable sports news outlets for accurate information, particularly during high-traffic periods such as the auction season.
In conclusion, RCB did not troll the trade. The viral “Loyalty matters!!” post originated from a fake account, and the Jadeja-Curran-Samson swap remains a legitimate and confirmed transaction between CSK and RR.
