Suryaa Sports Desk: Reports have emerged regarding trade discussions involving Mumbai Indians all-rounder and captain Hardik Pandya and his former team, the Gujarat Titans. It is understood that Pandya expressed interest in returning to the Gujarat franchise, which he previously led to a title in its inaugural season.
During the trade negotiations, it was reported that Pandya requested the captaincy of the Gujarat Titans, proposing to replace current captain Shubman Gill. The Gujarat management reportedly did not agree to this demand. Following this, reports suggest that Pandya was willing to play as a regular player under Gill's leadership.
However, the trade agreement between the two franchises did not reach a conclusion. The discussions reportedly stalled because the Gujarat franchise was not prepared to release certain players requested by the Mumbai Indians. Following these developments, reports indicate that Pandya shifted his focus toward other teams.
Hardik Pandya previously led the Gujarat team before returning to the Mumbai Indians as captain. Official details regarding these trade discussions remain pending, as no formal statements have been issued by the franchises.
