Hardik Pandya Linked to Potential Trade Deal with CSK

Chennai Super Kings is reportedly exploring a blockbuster trade deal with Mumbai Indians to acquire Indian pace-bowling all-rounder Hardik Pandya.

Potential trade scenarios include sacrificing middle-order batter Shivam Dube, either alongside youngster Ayush Mhatre or overseas finisher Dewald Brevis, to secure the deal.

The move aims to address CSK's structural deficiencies and provide tactical flexibility in the post-MS Dhoni era, potentially allowing for an overseas-heavy bowling attack.
