What is the truth?
According to a report by Cricbuzz, Hardik Pandya’s name is not mentioned anywhere in the information received by Chennai Super Kings in the trade related inquiry. This report suggests that at least as of now, Hardik’s move to Chennai Super Kings is just a rumour. No official information has been revealed by Hardik or Chennai Super Kings or BCCI regarding Hardik’s trade.
On the other hand, rumors of veteran South African player David Miller joining CSK have gained momentum. But according to the same report of Cricbuzz, Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals have rejected all possibilities of trade of Khalil Ahmed and David Miller.
