Four Players Traded Ahead of IPL 2027 Mini-Auction Including Rishabh Pant
Ahead of the IPL 2027 mini-auction, four players have been traded in two deals involving Delhi Capitals, Lucknow Super Giants, and Sunrisers Hyderabad. Rishabh Pant returns to Delhi Capitals from LSG with a salary reduction, while Kuldeep Yadav moves to LSG with a slight pay increase. T. Natarajan returns to SRH from Delhi Capitals at a reduced fee, with Zeeshan Ansari joining Delhi Capitals. Trade talks were reportedly slow due to the inauspicious Pitru Paksha period but are expected to pick up now.
