The Story in Brief
Ravichandran Ashwin has named the team he believes Hardik Pandya could join in IPL 2027, ahead of the mega auction. Speaking on his YouTube show, Ashwin said he has a hunch that Pandya, who led Mumbai Indians to the 2025 title, may be released and picked by a new franchise. He did not name Chennai Super Kings or Kolkata Knight Riders.
Ashwin's remarks come amid reports that Pandya's future with Mumbai Indians is uncertain. The Indian all-rounder, who returned to MI in 2024, is seen as a key retention option, but Ashwin's prediction has added to speculation. The next mega auction is expected before IPL 2027.
The Indian Opinion
Speculation about Hardik Pandya's IPL future is pure guesswork. Ashwin's 'hunch' is a headline, not a fact. Franchises rarely release captains who just won a title. Watch for MI's retention list after the auction: that will settle the question. Ask, why would Mumbai let go of a leader who delivered a trophy? The answer will be clearer than any hunch.
