Pandya moves to PBKS, Arshdeep joins MI in major IPL trade

Bengaluru, Nov 11 (UNI) In a major player exchange ahead of the 2027 Indian Premier League (IPL), Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Hardik Pandya will move to Punjab Kings (PBKS), while India pacer Arshdeep Singh will join the five-time champions in a high-profile trade between the two franchises.
The trade brings an end to Pandya's second stint with Mumbai Indians, where he won four IPL titles, while Arshdeep departs Punjab after eight seasons with the franchise.
Pandya, who joined Mumbai in 2015, was part of the franchise's title-winning campaigns in 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020. After seven seasons with MI, he moved to Gujarat Titans ahead of the 2022 season and led the newly formed franchise to the title in its debut year. Gujarat also reached the final in 2023.
He returned to Mumbai in 2024 and took over the captaincy. Across 162 IPL matches, Pandya has scored 2,955 runs at a strike rate of 146.28 and claimed 82 wickets.
Pandya will join Punjab Kings for Rs 18 crore, an increase from his existing fee of Rs 16.35 crore.
Arshdeep, meanwhile, joins Mumbai after establishing himself as Punjab's leading wicket-taker in IPL history, with 111 wickets from 96 matches.
Making his IPL debut for Punjab in 2019, the left-arm pacer has emerged as one of the competition's most effective bowlers, particularly with the new ball and during the death overs. He took 21 wickets in the 2025 season and followed it up with 14 wickets in 2026.
Arshdeep will join Mumbai Indians at his existing fee of Rs 18 crore.
The exchange gives Punjab an experienced all-rounder and former IPL-winning captain in Pandya, while Mumbai acquire a proven left-arm pace option in Arshdeep, strengthening their bowling resources ahead of the 2027 season.
