Mumbai Indians trade Hardik Pandya to Punjab Kings, captaincy call on hold

Mumbai Indians trade Hardik Pandya to Punjab Kings, captaincy call on hold

What's behind this

Hardik Pandya has been traded from Mumbai Indians to Punjab Kings in a high‑profile player swap ahead of the TATA IPL 2027, with left‑arm pacer Arshdeep Singh moving to MI. The move follows a season where MI lost ten of its fourteen matches and leaves the five‑time champion without a captain for the upcoming campaign. MI co‑owner Akash Ambani publicly wished Pandya the very best and expressed great respect for the all‑rounder. Pandya issued his first statement after the trade, addressing his new captain Shreyas Iyer, while Singh shared a message upon joining MI.
