IPL 2027 Auction: Abhinav Mukund wants MI to rope in Indian wicketkeeper-batter

What's behind this

Juhi Chawla and IPL founder Lalit Modi are advocating a shift of the 2027 tournament to a January window, a move that has found backing from a co‑owner of Kolkata Knight Riders, according to NDTV. The league, traditionally staged between March and May, has previously altered its schedule because of general elections, venue relocations to South Africa or the UAE, and COVID‑19‑related adjustments, as noted by Livemint.
