Mumbai Indians have not been performing well in IPL 2026, and since then, questions have been raised about Hardik Pandya’s captaincy. A few days ago, news came out about Hardik’s deteriorating relationship with Mumbai Indians (MI). It is being said that Hardik Pandya may become a part of another team through trade. There is also a possibility of Hardik Pandya joining Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Now R. Ashwin has given further fuel to these rumors that Pandya may join CSK.
Mumbai Indians are already out of the play-off race. After the last match of the league stage, Hardik Pandya posted a story on Instagram. He posted a photo, in which the time on his mobile was 07:07. Fans have attributed it to CSK’s great player M.S. Dhoni’s jersey number being seen paired with it. Since then, there have been rumors that Hardik Pandya could leave MI through a trade and become a part of Chennai Super Kings.
