The IPL trade window has generated a lot of hype in the off-season, especially with franchises looking to strengthen their squads before the 2027 season.
Apart from the mini-auction that generally steals all the limelight, trades among various teams can be equally important since it allows them to fill their gaps without engaging in a bidding war.

Reports have claimed that both CSK and DC are showing interest in acquiring the Mumbai Indians captain.
The CEO of CSK, Kasi Viswanathan, has outright denied that there are any talks of recruiting Pandya to their team. However, reports claim that the five-time champions are indeed trying to explore all possibilities and Delhi Capitals are also a possible destination for him.
According to reports, Punjab Kings have emerged as the latest team in a race to sign the Mumbai Indians captain. They are reportedly closing in on a deal to sign Pandya.
On November 5, Hardik Pandya shared a Diwali post on his social media, wearing a yellow shirt, which further sparked the rumours of the all-rounder joining CSK.
