The TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 is over Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) winning the second trophy in consecutive seasons, beating the Gujarat Titans (GT) in the final, becoming only the third team after Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI) to retain the trophy. Ahead of the next season, CSK have provided a massive update on Hardik Pandya.
CSK did not qualify for the playoffs for the third consecutive season. The five-time champions have been stuck at a new low in their amazing legacy in the tournament. The Men in Yellow, this season under Ruturaj Gaikwad, finished 8th in the points table with just 6 wins and 8 draws. The fans were not happy with the team’s performances from the last few seasons.
“All that is being said about Hardik and CSK is untrue”- Kasi Vishwanathan on possible Hardik Pandya trade
Ahead of the next season, Chennai Super Kings CEO Kasi Viswanathan has shared a massive update on the team’s review, as many fans and former cricketers believed that Ruturaj Gaikwad should be dropped from captaincy, and Sanju Samson should be handed the leadership role. However, Kasi Viswanathan stated that the review of the IPL for the Yellow Army has not taken place.
Apart from that, the CSK CEO provided a massive update on the rumour of Hardik Pandya possibly joining the Men in Yellow side in a trade deal from Mumbai Indians, in which two players, Shivam Dube and Ayush Mhatre, were to be traded to Mumbai, and Hardik Pandya, who had a poor season as captain, would be joining CSK in IPL 2027.
While speaking with RevSportz, Kasi Vishwanathan said, “CSK has not even done the review of the season yet and we will only do so after the MLC is complete. I am currently in the US. We have not spoken to anyone and all that is being said about Hardik and CSK is untrue”.
