Hardik Pandya Not Alone: IPL 2027 Trade Buzz Builds
With the trade window open, several star players like Hardik Pandya, Ayush Mhatre, Will Jacks, and Yashasvi Jaiswal could switch franchises ahead of IPL 2027.
The IPL trade window has opened, and teams are already strategizing for the 2027 season. Among the most talked-about moves is Hardik Pandya's potential transfer from Mumbai Indians to Chennai Super Kings. CSK is keen on the all-rounder, and reports suggest Hardik is open to the change.
Young sensation Ayush Mhatre has also attracted interest from at least five franchises, including Delhi Capitals, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Lucknow Super Giants, Gujarat Titans, and Mumbai Indians. The 19-year-old Under-19 captain has become a key player for CSK, but an enticing offer could prompt a trade.
CSK is also eyeing Will Jacks from Mumbai Indians. The English all-rounder, who impressed in the T20 World Cup 2026, would fill the void left by Matthew Short's inconsistent performances. Meanwhile, Yashasvi Jaiswal is reportedly being considered by Mumbai Indians, adding to the list of high-profile stars who might don new colors next season.
