Mumbai Indians trade Hardik Pandya to Punjab Kings for Arshdeep Singh
Mumbai Indians traded captain Hardik Pandya to Punjab Kings in exchange for left-arm seamer Arshdeep Singh ahead of the upcoming Indian Premier League season.
Exchange confirmed by organisers
Organisers of the Twenty20 competition announced this trade on Wednesday. The India all-rounder moves to Punjab after captaining Mumbai since 2024. He has won four IPL titles in two stints with the five-time champions. Pandya also led Gujarat Titans for two seasons, including their fairytale title triumph on their debut in 2022.
Pace attack strengthens in Mumbai
Arshdeep spent eight seasons with Punjab before joining Jasprit Bumrah. This move creates a formidable pace attack at Mumbai for next year. The deadline for franchises to submit their retention and release lists is November 17. The IPL mini-auction is scheduled to be held in Goa on December 16.
Season schedule expected soon
Organisers have not announced the specific schedule for the tournament yet. The 20th season of the IPL is expected to be played from March to May next year. Franchises will finalize their rosters before the auction takes place in Goa.
