The IPL 2027 trade window has thrown another curveball around Hardik Pandya's future, with Delhi Capitals now stepping into the picture after earlier reports suggested his proposed switch to Chennai Super Kings had stalled.
According to reports from Times of India, Delhi Capitals are now the front runners in the race to snap up the Mumbai Indians captain.
DC are reportedly willing to let go of both captain Axar Patel and opening batter Prithvi Shaw as part of a package to bring the current Mumbai Indians skipper into their fold.
What catches people off guard in this whole story is the timing. Delhi Capitals had barely finished celebrating the return of Rishabh Pant from Lucknow Super Giants once IPL 2026 ended, and now they're already chasing another marquee name.
The franchise reportedly views Hardik as someone capable of strengthening their batting and bowling units simultaneously, while also bringing genuine leadership experience to the dressing room.
