Hardik Pandya’s possible trade from Mumbai Indians (MI), ahead of the Indian Premier League 2027 (IPL 2027), could see Chennai Super Kings (CSK) release Shivam Dube and Dewald Brevis with an additional INR 10 crore. To bring Hardik on board, CSK may have to confirm a players-plus-cash deal with MI.
Still, at the age of 32, Hardik Pandya is arguably the best pace-bowling all-rounder in Indian cricket, who is all set to leave the Mumbai Indians ahead of next year’s IPL. According to IPL rules, trade talks are only possible between franchises, not with any player.
Irrespective of Hardik’s performance in the IPL 2025 season, his market value in the Indian Premier League is projected at around INR 16.35 crore. The final valuation will be decided after negotiations between the franchises. As of now, CSK is considered the frontrunner to secure Hardik's services.
An all-cash deal is not going to happen between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians. Deals in IPL can happen in three possible ways: an all-cash deal, a swap deal (a player against another player), and a player-plus-cash deal. CSK is most likely to do a player-plus-cash deal for Hardik.
Mumbai Indians want to gain maximum profit from the Hardik Pandya deal
According to Hindustan Times, as the Mumbai Indians want to gain as much profit as possible by trading out their captain, they want multiple exciting prospects from CSK. Shivam Dube, a pace-bowling all-rounder, like-for-like substitution for Hardik Pandya, and Ayush Mhatre are reportedly the prime targets for the Mumbai-based franchise.
But will CSK allow Ayush Mhatre to join their rival franchise? Maybe not. Super Kings is reportedly not interested in letting a young prodigy like Ayush Mhatre join hands with any other IPL franchise. Instead, Dewald Brevis, another emerging talent, could be included in a potential player-plus-cash deal.
In summary, MI wants Shivam Dube and Ayush Mhatre in exchange for Hardik, but CSK is interested in offering Dube, Dewald Brevis and an additional INR 10 crore.
Hardik Pandya was not at his best in the IPL 2026 season
Despite repeated lacklustre seasons for the Mumbai Indians, Hardik Pandya is still considered the premium all-rounder in the fray. In the previous season, he scored 206 runs at an average of 22.89 and a strike rate of 138.26 without any half-century and missed multiple games because of injury. In the death overs, where Pandya made his name the most, he was not at his peak as well, scoring only 49 runs from 37 balls at a strike rate of 132.4.
With the ball, his performance remained subpar throughout the season. In the death overs, his economy rate was far from what was expected from him. Overall, Hardik got only 4 wickets in IPL 2026 from 22.4 overs for an average economy rate of 11.43 runs. The economy rate jumped to 15.75 during the death overs, and in the powerplays, that 13.75 per over. In the middle overs, from 12 to 16, he was effective with his variation, conceding only 7.80 runs per over.
