What's behind this
Punjab Kings CEO Satish Menon called the acquisition of Hardik Pandya an “important step” toward the franchise’s IPL title ambitions. Former India bowler Irfan Pathan said the trade should bolster PBKS’s middle‑order and lower‑order batting, while also highlighting lingering concerns about the side’s bowling depth. The move was part of a high‑profile pre‑season swap with Mumbai Indians, in which left‑arm fast bowler Arshdeep Singh left PBKS after eight seasons to join MI. Mumbai’s Akash Ambani wished Pandya well after a season in which MI lost ten of fourteen matches.
