Ever since the conclusion of IPL 2026, several teams have reportedly approached the five-time champions over a potential trade for their captain, including Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Despite concerns over his fitness, Hardik remains one of the most sought-after all-rounders in the game due to his ability to contribute with both bat and ball.
Fresh inquiries have been made for star all-rounder and Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya regarding a potential trade ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction, according to a report.
Despite his fitness concerns, Hardik remains a key part of India’s plans for next year’s ODI World Cup due to his ability to influence games with both bat and ball when fully fit. Meanwhile, Gautam Gambhir and the Indian team continue to monitor Hardik’s fitness closely, with the all-rounder reportedly set to miss the upcoming tour of New Zealand.
At least one team understood to have made fresh inquiries about the 32-year-old, according to a report in Cricbuzz .
“Sources have revealed that there have been inquiries and approaches for Pandya to the Mumbai Indians management from multiple teams, with one particular franchise understood to have shown greater interest,” the report said.
