Three IPL Allrounders Who Could Outearn Hardik Pandya if Traded

Hardik Pandya has been in the spotlight amid trade rumours linking him to multiple IPL teams for the 2027 season. Despite Mumbai Indians dismissing speculation, six franchises—RR, PBKS, KKR, LSG, GT, and DC—have reportedly shown interest. However, Pandya's recent IPL returns have been underwhelming: 646 runs at an average of 20.8 and 29 wickets at an economy of 10.55 since taking over as MI captain. His reputation with India still holds value, but current form suggests he may not be the highest-valued allrounder in a trade.

Jason Holder, bought by Gujarat Titans for INR 7 crore in IPL 2026, has justified his price with 17 wickets in 11 innings. Since 2025, he leads T20 wickets with 135 scalps in 98 innings. His lower-order batting adds further value. Sam Curran, another proven allrounder, could also fetch a higher trade fee given his recent performances, though details on the third player were not provided in the source.
