SRH interested in KKR batter, could oust Ishan Kishan?

The IPL trade window is keeping the fans interested these days. All sorts of rumours are floating around too in cricketing circles. CSK had earlier confirmed their interest in RR skipper Sanju Samson, but no one really knows, if the deal would go through or not. And now, it is time for another such trade off rumour.

Ishan Kishan Out, Venkatesh Iyer In for SRH?

As per various reports — SRH could just be interested in buying all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer from KKR. Mind you, Venky had gone for a massive 23.75 Cr in the auction, but had a poor season with the bat. He could only manage 142 runs in IPL 2025, at an average of 20. This deal, meanwhile, could come in for Ishan Kishan, who scored 354 runs for Hyderabad in the season, including a ton as well. That’s not it. Even RCB could be interested in a deal with KKR, for Venkatesh Iyer.

Going further, as per a piece in News24 online, CSK could also be interested in bagging PBKS all-rounder Glenn Maxwell. The latter had been an utter failure for the franchise, and could only score 48 runs in 7 innings, before getting injured. Another potential buyers could be GT, who could oust their Kiwi all-rounder Glenn Phillips.

DC Interested in Rishabh Pant?

England’s Liam Livingstone is also on the IPL trade rumours market list. He was with the IPL 2025 champions RCB, but wasn’t effective at all. In 10 matches, he scored 112 runs, and now, MI and LSG could be eyeing the all-rounder. Surprisingly, these rumours extend to Rishabh Pant as well, who was bagged for a massive 27 Cr by LSG.

It seems, DC want him back desperately, while even MI are also interested. But it seems unrealistic for now, that Lucknow would let him go, after just one ordinary season.
