The IPL transfer market witnessed a blockbuster move as Hardik Pandya completed a sensational switch from Mumbai Indians to Punjab Kings, with Indian pace spearhead Arshdeep Singh heading in the opposite direction
In a stunning development ahead of IPL 2027, Mumbai Indians (MI) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) have executed a high-profile player swap that could prove to be one of the most influential deals in recent league history.
MI and PBKS have completed the headline-grabbing Hardik Pandya trade on Wednesday, with seamer Arshdeep Singh being involved in the trade swap.
The stylish all-rounder will don the Punjab jersey in the upcoming IPL 2027 season, while the pace bowler will head to Mumbai and join an already elite pace bowling line-up including Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar.
The IPL confirmed the trade on social media platforms.
The trade burned quite a hole in both franchises’ purses, with Hardik signing for a revised fee of INR 18 Crore. Arshdeep, meanwhile, will join the five-time IPL champions at his existing fee of INR 18 crore.
