Mumbai Indians did not perform as per expectations since Hardik was appointed as the captain of the side in 2024. Only once have they qualified for the playoffs, and in the other two seasons they have finished at the bottom of the table, which has been a concern for the management as they have revamped their coaching staff ahead of the new season.
He said (as quoted by NDTV), "KKR have great potential because Hardik can also become the captain there. They could offer Varun Chakaravarthy for him. But as long as Abhishek Nayar is there, I don't think Varun will move from KKR."
Ravichandran Ashwin reveals why other teams are interested in Hardik Pandya
Ravi Ashwin in the same video also revealed names of other teams that can be interested in the trade of Hardik Pandya. He believes that MI needs an Indian wicket-keeper batter, and they would also look to bolster their bowling attack, so Azmatullah Omarzai can be of interest, and GT might also offer Rashid Khan for the star India all-rounder.
KKR leading race to sign Hardik Pandya?
Despite CSK, KKR, RR, GT, and PBKS, two teams, CSK and KKR, are much more interested in doing the deal for Hardik. As per previous reports, the Knights are the favourites to land the former India captain in their side ahead of the IPL 2027 as he can add more balance to the three-time IPL champions.
"There are as many as six teams in the battle for Hardik Pandya, is what I hear. But I don't think that's the case, as LSG aren't in the race. It's mainly CSK, KKR, RR, GT, and PBKS. I also think captaincy isn't a must for Hardik anymore in his next franchise. He will just want to go to the ideal franchise for him, as he's keen to move on from MI," said Ashwin.
