Mumbai trade Pandya to Punjab for Arshdeep Singh

Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings have completed a trade sending allrounder Hardik Pandya to Punjab and fast bowler Arshdeep Singh to Mumbai ahead of the 2027 Indian Premier League season. Mumbai Indians co-owner Akash Ambani thanked Pandya for his contribution and wished him well in his next chapter.

The franchises’ announcement, reported on November 11, confirmed the exchange. Pandya will join Punjab at a revised fee of ₹18 crore, while Arshdeep will move to Mumbai at his existing fee of ₹18 crore, according to reports detailing the terms.

Ambani said he respected Pandya as a cricketer and as a person. In a statement shared by Mumbai Indians, he also praised Pandya’s energy and competitive spirit, and recalled his development from a young player into an international star who returned to captain the team. Ambani said those contributions had been valuable to the franchise.

Pandya first joined Mumbai Indians in 2015 and was part of the team’s IPL title-winning squads in 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020. He moved to Gujarat Titans ahead of the 2022 season, led the side to the title in its debut year and guided it to the 2023 final. He returned to Mumbai in 2024 and became captain.
