Hardik Pandya remains one of the hot topics after another underwhelming IPL season with the Mumbai Indians (MI) as their captain. If the latest media reports are to be believed, then Hardik Pandya is on the brink of making a golden handshake with the Mumbai Indians ahead of the next IPL season.
Even before the conclusion of the 2026 season, there were multiple question marks over Ajinkya Rahane’s future in the franchise, under whose captaincy the multi-time league winners failed to impress in back-to-back seasons.
Hardik Pandya could join KKR from the Mumbai Indians
According to the sources, the franchise mostly considered the experienced opener as a stopgap captain, not for a long-term role.
It is further informed that the Kolkata-based franchise has multiple rounds of discussions, and the conversations are expected to prolong as the Knight Riders are eager to appoint a new captain ahead of another season.
A trade deal can be an option
Despite the underwhelming performances, Hardik Pandya remains one of the most prominent pace-bowling all-rounders across the nations, especially in the white-ball format. It is needless to say that the Kolkata Knight Riders will have to pay a hefty price if the Mumbai Indians agree to make a deal with them.
It is also necessary to remember that, according to the IPL rules, none of the contracted players are allowed to communicate with any other franchises regarding a transfer. Rajasthan Royals, another franchise, may have an interest in Pandya. However, there is no concrete evidence regarding this.
