Hardik Pandya’s anticipated move from Mumbai Indians to Gujarat Titans is not progressing, with talks reportedly collapsing over disagreements about captaincy expectations. Multiple outlets say negotiations fail because the two sides hold different views on whether Pandya would be given a captaincy role, leaving the trade outcome uncertain.
The reports note that Pandya previously won a title with Gujarat Titans and that his return to the franchise is now in question. One source describes his most recent season with Mumbai as lacklustre, contributing to the uncertainty around his next step.
Both accounts add that Pandya’s immediate focus is on fitness as he prepares for India’s upcoming series against Afghanistan, rather than finalizing any team change in the near term.
