Indian Premier League franchises are actively negotiating player trades as the November 17 deadline for submitting retention and release lists approaches.

Reports indicate significant interest in Yashasvi Jaiswal, currently with Rajasthan Royals. Potential suitors include Mumbai Indians, who have reportedly explored a high-profile swap involving Hardik Pandya, Kolkata Knight Riders, who may seek a new captain and top-order batter, and Lucknow Super Giants, who are looking for an Indian captain.

Additionally, explosive finisher Ashutosh Sharma of Delhi Capitals has become a central figure in trade discussions. Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants are reportedly competing to acquire him.
