CSK video with number 33 fuels Hardik trade speculation

Chennai Super Kings posted a promotional clip of a sheet marked 33, and the number sat in a circle. Zaheer Khan and mascot Leo talked transfers on camera. Ravichandran Ashwin replied on X with “Onnnnn?? Proper cooking.”

Hardik has drawn interest from CSK, KKR and others after Mumbai finished ninth last season. Kasi Viswanathan said earlier that no talks had happened. Mumbai also insist they aren’t trading while they review the year.

Zaheer is now head coach, with Gareth Batty, Albie Morkel and Mohit Sharma added to the staff. The retention deadline falls on 15 November.
