Overview
- Mumbai Indians have approached Sunrisers Hyderabad for a trade or all-cash deal for Ishan Kishan, according to Times of India reporting echoed by InsideSport.
- Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals have also contacted SRH about a potential move for the wicketkeeper-batter.
- SRH are reported to be reluctant to part with Kishan at this stage, though their stance could shift if the player pushes for a move.
- Franchises value Kishan because quality Indian wicketkeeper-batters are scarce, and MI view him as offering top-order flexibility that could free an overseas slot.
- Kishan had a mixed IPL 2025 with SRH but struck 173 in the Ranji Trophy for Jharkhand, as teams position for retentions due by November 15 and a mini-auction expected in mid-December.
