Overview
- The Times of India reported that Mumbai Indians have approached Sunrisers Hyderabad to re-sign Ishan Kishan, with Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals also in contact, but no deal has been reached.
- SRH are presently reluctant to release the wicketkeeper-batter, though movement could hinge on Kishan’s own preference during negotiations.
- Clubs are prioritizing an Indian top-order keeper to free an overseas slot, and MI’s interest is also viewed as preparation for life after Rohit Sharma.
- Retention lists are due by November 15 ahead of a mini-auction expected in mid-December, creating a narrow window for trades or all-cash deals.
- Kishan was bought by SRH for ₹11.25 crore in 2025, finished that IPL season with 354 runs and a debut century, and has since hit 173 in the Ranji Trophy for Jharkhand.
