KKR's Possible Trade Pieces for Hardik Pandya Ahead of IPL 2027
A summary of the players Kolkata Knight Riders might offer Mumbai Indians in a potential swap deal.
With Hardik Pandya's future at Mumbai Indians uncertain after a disappointing IPL 2026 season, Kolkata Knight Riders have emerged as a likely destination. CSK are also in the running, but their coaching situation complicates matters. Reports suggest MI would want both a bowler and a batter in exchange, rather than a straight cash deal.
One option pairs young wicketkeeper-batter Tejasvi Dahiya with pacer Umran Malik. Dahiya hasn't impressed in his two IPL outings, but he's a reliable middle-order bat. Malik, though recovering from a hip injury, brings raw pace that could appeal to MI. Another possible package includes Kartik Tyagi and Rachin Ravindra, offering a mix of bowling and all-round ability.
