Ashwin backed the idea of retaining Pathirana and also mentioned Ben Stokes as a possible option. However, it was his mention of “07:07” that grabbed the most attention online.
Hardik recently uploaded a seemingly casual Instagram story featuring a laptop, notebook, pen and mobile phone. However, eagle-eyed fans quickly noticed the time displayed on the phone screen, ’07:07.’
They connected the number CSK’s popular number seven, MS Dhoni, with many speculating that the all-rounder could be hinting at a future move to CSK.

Hardik’s Future Under Spotlight After Tough Season
The rumours arrive at a difficult time for Hardik and Mumbai Indians following a disappointing IPL 2026 campaign. MI finished ninth in the points table and were among the earliest teams to be eliminated from playoff contention.
Hardik also endured a difficult season personally, scoring just 146 runs in eight innings while claiming only three wickets. Questions have already been raised about Mumbai’s direction after another underwhelming year despite boasting a star-studded squad.
For now, there is no official confirmation surrounding a possible move to CSK. But Ashwin’s cryptic ’07:07′ reference has certainly added fuel to one of the biggest IPL rumours currently circulating online.
