IPL transfer window: KKR, Royals approach MI over potential Hardik trade

Hardik Pandya is on his way out of Mumbai Indians and the five-time IPL winners have at least got two feelers for a potential trade -- one from Shah Rukh Khan co-owned Kolkata Knight Riders and the other from Rajasthan Royals. There have been multiple discussions between the top management of KKR and the owners of Mumbai Indians over a swap, an IPL insider privy to the development told PTI on conditions of anonymity. Pandya's second coming to Mumbai Indians has been a tumultuous one with only one entry into the play-offs under his leadership. "Ajinkya Rahane was always a stop-gap arrangement for KKR and he was always going to be released after this season. The KKR top brass had approached MI owners towards the end of last season but since Reliance's Annual AGM was round the corner, so at that time IPL trade wasn't the biggest priority. "However, it has been learned that KKR has again approached MI top leadership and there has been a few rounds of discussion," the source informed.
