Hardik Pandya To CSK Move Gains Pace As 7 Teams Want MI Captain For IPL 2027

Summary

Hardik Pandya is reportedly on the verge of leaving Mumbai Indians, with seven out of nine Indian Premier League teams expressing interest in acquiring him, and Chennai Super Kings emerging as the front runner. The thirty-two-year-old all-rounder has drawn interest from several teams, including Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals, following a disappointing stint as captain of Mumbai Indians. Chennai Super Kings' leadership group, however, may not automatically offer Pandya the captaincy, as Ruturaj Gaikwad currently leads the team, with Sanju Samson also part of the leadership group.
