Gujarat Titans (GT) captain Hardik Pandya has been retained by the side ahead of IPL 2024 Auction. Ahead of IPL 2022, MI released Hardik Pandya and at the newly found franchise GT, Hardik excelled following his return from a long-term injury, winning IPL title in his debut season and then reaching the final in the next season.
It is to be noted that Hardik Pandya can still be traded by GT with MI, with December 12 being the last date. The deadline is set for a week before IPL 2024 auction, which is set to take place on December 19 . Mumbai Indians are left with Rs 15.25 cr in their purse ahead of the auctions.
Hardik Pandya earns a whopping Rs 15 Cr at Gujarat Titans. With the addition of Rs 5 Cr in the auction purse, MI will have Rs 5.5 Cr sitting in their purse for the IPL 2024 auctions. Take a look at the possibilities the Mukesh Ambani-owned franchise could consider for a trade with Hardik Pandya, even though Gt have retained the star all-rounder.
Ashwin drops his two cents on Pandya’s trade
Veteran Indian spinner and RR star Ravichandran Ashwin dropped a video on his social media channel, opining on the rumours doing the rounds about Hardik’s trade. The spinner claimed that MI could have struck gold if the deal was through, adding that there have been only three instances in IPL history where the captain has been traded.
Ashwin even joked about how ‘another Pandya’ might make his way to GT in exchange for Hardik. In what is an insightful input to the fans, MI will now have to release players worth Rs 9.95 cr in order to accommodate HP.
