Hardik Pandya likely to join Chennai Super Kings ahead of IPL 2027

Summary

Hardik Pandya is expected to leave the Mumbai Indians following their poor performance in IPL 2026, where they finished ninth with only four wins. Former Indian cricketer Hanuma Vihari claims there is a 99.9% chance Pandya will join the Chennai Super Kings. Pandya has cited mental stress and exhaustion as reasons for his departure, having informed MI management mid-season. A trade scenario has also been proposed, with former CSK batsman Subramanium Badrinath suggesting MI could exchange Pandya for CSK's Shivam Dube and Ayush Mhatre.
