CSK Break Silence on Hardik Pandya Trade Rumours With Blunt Verdict

CSK Break Silence on Hardik Pandya Trade Rumours With Blunt Verdict

Published by Webster

The CSK (Chennai Super Kings) CEO, Kasi Viswanathan, has shut down the rumours of the franchise being in the race to sign Hardik Pandya on a trade. Several reports have emerged that seven other franchises are interested in signing Hardik Pandya. Five-time winners Chennai Super Kings have reportedly entered the race for Hardik and are rivalling Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Chennai Super Kings finished eighth in IPL 2026. With concerns over Ruturaj Gaikwad’s captaincy following their failure to qualify for the playoffs in consecutive seasons, Hardik could be considered an ideal captaincy candidate. CSK were involved in a high-profile trade last year, where Sanju Samson joined from the Rajasthan Royals in a swap trade for Ravindra Jadeja. Apart from KKR, Rajasthan Royals are also interested in the all-rounder for Yashasvi Jaiswal, though the chances of the trade are highly impossible as the inaugural champions see Riyan Parag as their long-term captain. However, Kasi Viswanathan has denied the talks regarding the trades of Hardik Pandya. “We have not had any discussion. This will be done only …
