What is a player trade in IPL and when can it happen?

This is the case when a player moves from the IPL franchise that bought him to another franchise during the trading period. This can happen in an all-cash deal or via a player-to-player swap. As per the rulebook in the IPL, the trading window starts after a month when the season ends and continues until a week before the mega auction date. However, it will then take up to a month before the start of the next mega edition.
So, in the IPL 2024 trading window, the auction will be open until December 12, with the auction scheduled for December 19, and will open again on December 20 until a month before the 2024 season starts.

According to a report by Sports Today, Delhi Capitals had approached Mumbai Indians to trade Rohit Sharma as the franchise wanted a seasoned captain to lead their side with their skipper Rishabh Pant, who is returning from a serious injury and expected to play only if an impact player. With the IPL 2024 trading window reopening from December 20, there is a good chance that many more franchises besides DC could approach the Indian skipper to strengthen their team in the upcoming edition.
