The Mumbai Indians are obviously knocked out of this season of the competition after their defeat against the defending champions RCB. MI are most likely to part ways with some players as they aim to revamp their squad ahead of the next season, and skipper Hardik Pandya is likely the first one to be released.
Some reports backed by RevSportz revealed that Pandya has made calls to several team owners and has shown the willingness to be available for a possible trade ahead of the upcoming season. The trade window will be a massive watch, as Hardik has never been in a live auction before.
Hardik Pandya likely to be bought for 25+ crore bracket: Reports
As per some latest reports, despite Hardik's insistence, not many possibilities are building around another possible trade for the cricketer, who has never been part of an auction since his debut in 2015, where he was signed for INR 10 lakhs as a young uncapped all-rounder by the Mumbai Indians.
Some reports have also claimed that CSK and KKR will be among teams with massive purses in the IPL auction and citing that teams would have a mega-auction again next season they might not back away from investing keenly on the Indian all-rounder.

Is Hardik incapable of handling 'superstars' as a captain?
Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir and national selector Ajit Agarkar were criticized for not having appointed Hardik Pandya as the skipper of the Indian team after Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from the shortest format of international cricket.
Ever since his return to the Mumbai Indians as a captain of the side, his form in the IPL has dipped significantly, while the five-time champions have ended at the bottom of the points table twice in three seasons. This has exposed Hardik's poor management of superstars in the team.
