Will Hardik Pandya leave Mumbai Indians team before IPL 2027? If yes, then which team is leading in the race to buy him. The names of former champion teams like Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals have been associated with Hardik, but now Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) has also joined the race. It is being told that KKR is also ready to make an all-cash deal for Hardik.
Shahrukh Khan is showing interest
According to media reports, Shahrukh Khan himself is personally taking a lot of interest in Hardik Pandya and wants to bring him to Kolkata Knight Riders after 2 bad seasons. It is being told that Shahrukh Khan usually maintains distance from cricket related decisions, but he is angry with the poor performance of the team in the last two seasons.
Kolkata Knight Riders team stood eighth in the points table of IPL 2025 and seventh in the 2026 season. Kolkata became champion in 2024, but after that the performance of the team has declined.
Earlier, the news of Rajasthan Royals showing interest in Hardik had come out. The news of Hardik Pandya and Yashasvi Jaiswal being traded had started gaining momentum, but KKR’s interest has changed all the equations of the trade.
Cameron Green will be released!
There is a lot of talk about Hardik Pandya joining Kolkata Knight Riders. If KKR signs an all-cash deal with Mumbai Indians, it will need a lot of money in its purse. In such a situation, speculations are gaining momentum about the release of Cameron Green, who was bought by KKR with a bid of Rs 25.2 crore in the 2026 mini auction.
If Kolkata wants to bring Hardik into its squad, then it would be right to release Cameron Green. Hardik can not only play the role of a fast bowling all-rounder but can also captain KKR.
