Hardik Pandya Trade IPL 2027: Trade talks for Hardik Pandya have come to the forefront in the IPL. Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya is rumored to be switching teams ahead of the upcoming season. Initially, the names Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) were in the lead, but now the name Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is also in the race.
Hardik Pandya to RCB?
Initially, Sunrisers Hyderabad and RCB showed no interest in Hardik. However, according to the latest reports, RCB is now interested in including Hardik Pandya in their squad. RCB have won the IPL title twice in a row (2025 and 2026), so they may trade Hardik to strengthen their squad.

Which two players will the Mumbai Indians (MI) get in return?
If Hardik Pandya moves to RCB, Mumbai Indians may demand two championship-winning players from RCB. These two players could be next. Josh Hazlewood is an experienced and dangerous fast bowler from Australia who can strengthen Mumbai’s bowling. Romario Shepherd is a West Indian all-rounder who could take Hardik Pandya’s place. Hardik Pandya’s exchange to RCB has not been officially confirmed, it is just a rumour.
According to media reports, Hardik Pandya is likely to join Kolkata Knight Riders. There are also talks that KKR may offer Rinku Singh and Varun Chakraborty to Mumbai in exchange for Hardik. Chennai Super Kings CEO Kashi Viswanath has already denied talks of Hardik joining the team. It is not yet clear which team Hardik Pandya will join. Only time will tell whether he moves to RCB and makes history or leads a team like KKR or Rajasthan Royals.
