Overview
- Reports on Wednesday say Gujarat Titans were willing to re-sign Pandya but ended talks when he conditioned a return on being made captain.
- Mumbai Indians have not committed to trading Pandya and internal sources say he may not be moved at all, with the franchise conducting a wider post‑season review.
- Pandya’s spokesperson denied he held direct talks with other teams and said any approaches were made through Mumbai Indians.
- Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings have shown preliminary interest but KKR is unwilling to part with marquee players and CSK is focused first on appointing a head coach.
- Pandya’s recent below‑par IPL form, his rehabilitation at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru, and scheduling and valuation questions such as Cameron Green’s availability complicate any potential deal and will shape what to watch next in the trade window.
