Hardik Pandya's Gujarat Titans trade collapses over captaincy demand

Hardik Pandya's anticipated move from Mumbai Indians to Gujarat Titans has stalled over disagreements regarding his captaincy role. The all-rounder, who previously led Gujarat to an IPL title, was exploring a return to the franchise but negotiations have now faltered due to differing views on leadership expectations.

After an underwhelming season with Mumbai, Pandya's future remains uncertain. He is currently focused on regaining fitness before India's upcoming series against Afghanistan.
