India, Nov. 10 -- Yashasvi Jaiswal could be heading for a new challenge in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2027, with Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) reportedly emerging as the leading contenders to sign the Rajasthan Royals (RR) opener.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) had also been linked with a move for the Indian batter.

However, the latest reports suggest Lucknow have made a stronger push, with the possibility of handing Jaiswal the captaincy adding another layer to the transfer speculation.

No deal has been officially announced by any of the three franchises.
