Ashwin says Hardik Pandya trade only realistic for CSK, KKR

Hardik Pandya is a famous cricket player who captains the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League, a big cricket contest between city teams.

His team did not win enough games to reach the playoffs for two years in a row.

Because of that, people think Mumbai might trade him to another team.

Two teams talked about in the news are the Chennai Super Kings and the Kolkata Knight Riders.

A former player named R Ashwin said Hardik would probably only be traded to one of those two teams.

Ashwin also said Mumbai should only accept a deal with Kolkata if they get two good players, Harshit Rana and Rinku Singh, in return.

Chennai Super Kings are making big changes because their head coach Stephen Fleming is leaving.

Kolkata Knight Riders need a new captain because their skipper Ajinkya Rahane retired.

So this story is about a star player who may soon be moving to a new team.
