4 IPL teams interested in trading for Hardik Pandya
With the IPL 2027 trade deadline set for November 17, multiple franchises are reportedly in discussions with Mumbai Indians over a possible Hardik Pandya deal.
3. Rajasthan Royals
Mumbai Indians approached Rajasthan Royals with several player-swap concepts centred on Pandya. The names floated to RR included Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jofra Archer and Ravi Bishnoi. RR have shown initial resistance to these approaches. According to a report dated November 4, 2026, the franchise is not willing to part with Archer as part of any deal, though they are reportedly open to offering Jaiswal and Bishnoi in return for Pandya. Former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin had earlier described RR as being at the top of the list in the Pandya trade race, calling them the frontrunners at that point.
