Which franchise will Hardik Pandya play for in IPL 2027? Following another unsuccessful year with Mumbai Indians (MI) in 2026, Hardik could move to another team for the upcoming season. his former India teammate Ravichandran Ashwin believes that another franchise could be the best destination for the star all-rounder While teams like Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are reported to be interested in Hardik.
That is the question on the lips of several experts and fans across India, with reports and rumours of Hardik’s future destination heating up.
Amid reports and rumours regarding Hardik Pandya’s IPL future, legendary spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has expressed which team he could see the all-rounder joining for IPL 2027.
Hardik had led Gujarat Titans in its first two seasons in the IPL, captaining the team to the title in 2022 and the final in 2023. However, he then quit GT to return to Mumbai Indians (MI). “GT is a great place for him to go to, given that it’s a good batting wicket there and he has had great memories there. The team is also very good, with Shubman Gill captaining very well the last two years. So I don’t think he’ll get the captaincy. But if given an opportunity, Hardik should consider going back to GT, and I feel there is a good chance of it happening,” he added. there hasn’t been any official word from either the player or Mumbai Indians (MI) over his future While trade rumours continue regarding Hardik.
Earlier this week, reports emerged that Hardik has himself reached out to Gujarat Titans (GT) for a potential move, but his condition of captaincy made the deal fall through.
