Meanwhile, the trade window of the IPL has already seen the most high-profile transfer in the history of the tournament with Mumbai Indians (MI) not only getting Hardik Pandya from Gujarat Titans (GT) in an all-cash deal but also making him the captain ahead of Rohit Sharma who led them to each of their five IPL titles. The decision to announce Hardik as the captain was taken by MI days before the auction which is why Rohit Sharma did not have the option of going back to the auction. However, fresh media reports suggest that the IPL Trading window could reopen on December 20 and will remain open up until a month prior to the start of the tournament.
All of that as well as the mini-auction dynamics makes it an unmissable event for hard-core cricket lovers. Catch all the updates LIVE on this blog brought to you by ABP Live.
