IPL player trade and transfer: Biggest deals in Indian Premier League history

What's behind this

Juhi Chawla and IPL founder Lalit Modi are advocating a shift of the 2027 tournament to a January window, a move that has found backing from a co‑owner of Kolkata Knight Riders, according to NDTV. The league, traditionally staged between March and May, has previously altered its schedule because of general elections, venue relocations to South Africa or the UAE, and COVID‑19‑related adjustments, as noted by Livemint. In parallel, NDTV reports that Arshdeep Singh’s father says his family has received an intimation about a possible trade to Mumbai Indians, though neither Punjab Kings nor Mumbai Indians have confirmed the move.
