Kolkata Knight Riders have revived their pursuit of Hardik Pandya as a leadership void opens up following Ajinkya Rahane's retirement from the franchise.
Kolkata Knight Riders have emerged as frontrunners to acquire Hardik Pandya from Mumbai Indians ahead of the IPL 2027 season. The renewed interest follows a leadership void created by Ajinkya Rahane's retirement from the franchise, with reports giving KKR a 75 percent likelihood of completing a trade before the November 15 retention deadline.
Mumbai Indians are actively seeking a swap deal before the December 16 mini-auction after Pandya did not play a match last season. While KKR rejected proposals involving Rinku Singh, negotiations reportedly hinge on whether KKR will include 22-year-old batter Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Harshit Rana in the trade.
