The proposed exchange is among the biggest player trades ahead of IPL 2027, bringing an end to Arshdeep Singh's long association with Punjab Kings while sending Hardik back to a new franchise. Although the formal announcement from the BCCI is awaited, Darshan's comments suggest that the move has progressed to its final stage.
The proposed deal attracted considerable attention because both players have been important figures for their respective franchises. Hardik returned to Mumbai in 2024 and captained the five-time champions for three seasons. Arshdeep Singh, meanwhile, developed into one of India's leading left-arm fast bowlers during his time with Punjab.

Darshan Singh has spoken about the unexpected development. In a conversation with journalist Vimal Kumar, he revealed that the family had not been involved in any earlier discussion about the proposed transfer.
When asked whether Arshdeep had been informed about the possibility beforehand, his father replied:
"But since every franchise wants to build its own team balance, they traded him accordingly. We are very happy with Mumbai Indians as well. Over there, his old captain and old teammates like Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, and others are there, so we are very happy."
