The preparations for IPL 2027 is in full swing, and the teams are working on their retentions, releases, and also trades. Recently, Mumbai Indians let go of their captain, Hardik Pandya, to Punjab Kings in exchange for Arshdeep Singh.
Similarly, other teams are also working on multiple deals because the trade window does not close until December 10, which is a week before the IPL auction date. Now, in the latest developments, there is a report that Lucknow Super Giants approached Rajasthan Royals for Yashasvi Jaiswal.
LSG approached Jaiswal, but the deal stalled over the players demanded in return
A report from Rahul Rawat of Sports Tak revealed that Lucknow Super Giants wanted Yashasvi Jaiswal to join their side for IPL 2027, but the deal stalled because of RR’s demand in return. Notably, the 2008 winners demanded Mohammad Shami and Mohsin Khan in return.
Since then, the deal has not progressed because Lucknow Super Giants are not ready to let got of their core players. Further, Nikhil Naz stated that LSG is understood to do no more business in the trade window, which means that Jaiswal won’t join Lucknow Super Giants.
Yashasvi Jaiswal Also Linked To Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders
Jaiswal might not be moving to LSG, but still attracts huge interest from other teams. Earlier, there were reports that MI might approach Rajasthan To bring in Jaiswal in exchange for Hardik Pandya. However, in the latest events, Pandya has officially moved to Punjab, dismissing the southpaw’s chance of moving to the Indians.
Kolkata Knight Riders are currently the frontrunners to approach RR for Jaiswal. The three-time winners have an opening slot vacant for IPL 2026 since Ajinkya Rahane retired, and Jaiswal can also be a great fit.
More importantly, KKR are also seeking a captain, and that can be a great deal to lure Yashasvi to join the Men in Gold and Purple. There is still no official discussion between the two franchises on this, but Knight Riders are expected to make a move in this direction.
