After the disappointing performance in IPL 2026, the news of trade regarding Hardik Pandya’s name is in the headlines. If reports are to be believed, after the news of his separation from Mumbai Indians, 7 IPL franchises are trying to include him in the team.
According to media reports, there is a war going on between the 5-time winning team Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders. Amidst these controversies, Chennai Super Kings CEO Kasi Vishwanathan has broken his silence. Kasi Vishwanathan termed all the news as premature and said, ‘We have not yet discussed any matter regarding the trade of Hardik Pandya. This will be discussed only as the season approaches, which will be possible only after the year 2026 ends.

The T20 Major League Cricket played in America is to be organized till July 18. Texas Chennai Super Kings, the subsidiary franchise of Chennai Super Kings, is participating in this tournament, due to which the management team of Chennai is busy in it.
According to TOI report, except RCB and Sunrisers Hyderabad, other teams have expressed their curiosity about Hardik. This trade will also be important for Chennai Super Kings because their performance in IPL 2026 was poor. The team was ranked 8th in the points table. Whereas in IPL 2025 the team stood at 10th place. A lot of questions are being raised regarding the captaincy of Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad and his own performance in T20. In such a situation, Hardik, who has taken Gujarat Titans to the finals twice and won once, can be given the captaincy of Chennai team.
Chennai Super Kings team has been in the headlines earlier also regarding this trade matter. Last year itself we saw the biggest trade in IPL history. When Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson was included in CSK and veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja went to Rajasthan Royals.
The IPL 2026 season may have been very disappointing for Hardik Pandya and his team, but all the teams are currently in the fight to include the world’s legendary all-rounder Hardik Pandya in their team.
