Mumbai Indians deny trade talks over Hardik Pandya
Mumbai Indians say no trade talks are underway for Hardik Pandya while their post-season review continues.
Mumbai Indians have denied that they are in discussions with other IPL franchises about trading Hardik Pandya. A team spokesperson said the post-season review is ongoing and no decisions have been made on player trades.
Earlier reports suggested Chennai Super Kings were interested in Pandya in exchange for Ayush Mhatre and Shivam Dube plus ₹10 crore. Delhi Capitals, Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals have also been linked with the all-rounder.
Pandya has captained Mumbai Indians since 2024, with the team finishing last in his first season and ninth this year after winning just four of 14 matches.
CricHubb Take
Mumbai Indians' public denial buys time, but the 2026 numbers show Pandya cannot carry the dual load of frontline bowling and middle-order finishing that his previous teams demanded.
