Former Indian all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin believes Mumbai Indians (MI) can trade skipper Hardik Pandya to teams other than Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Following the 2026 IPL season, Hardik trade talks have dominated the headlines, with CSK and KKR being reported as frontrunners to land the ace all-rounder. AdHowever, Ashwin listed out several other trade possibilities involving marquee players, including former MI star Ishan Kishan. So, it isn’t only with CSK and KKR that MI can try for a trade with," said Ashwin on his YouTube channel (13:55). That’s a very viable trade.
