Arshdeep will now share the bowling duty with his India teammate Jasprit Bumrah at Mumbai Indians, while Hardik will begin a new chapter with Punjab Kings. The deal has been completed, with Hardik joining PBKS for ₹18 crore and Arshdeep moving to MI at his existing fee of ₹18 crore.
Pathan also pointed out that the move could help MI manage their overseas player slots better. Read Also: Rajasthan Royals asked LSG for Mohammed Shami, Mohsin Khan in Yashasvi Jaiswal trade talks.
The trade of Arshdeep Singh makes Mumbai Indians a much stronger side. It allows them to use Jasprit Bumrah even more effectively and also has a positive impact on their overseas slots.

Hardik Pandya's exit leaves MI searching for new captain
Hardik Pandya’s departure means Mumbai Indians will have to find a new captain for the upcoming IPL 2027 season. He took charge of the team in 2024 after returning from Gujarat Titans. Hardik made his IPL debut for MI in 2015 and won four titles with the franchise.
Hardik will now represent the third team in the IPL after moving to Punjab Kings. The Indian all-rounder has so far played 162 IPL matches, scoring 2955 runs and taking 82 wickets overall. Read Also: Harshal Patel to Gujarat Titans? Sunrisers Hyderabad considering cash deal or Tom Banton swap.
Arshdeep Singh joins Mumbai Indians with huge record, puts Trent Boult's future in doubt
Meanwhile, Arshdeep Singh has been a key player for Punjab Kings since making his IPL debut in 2019. The left-arm pacer has so far played 96 matches across eight seasons and picked up 111 wickets, the highest by any bowler in the franchise's 19-season IPL history.
If MI decides to release Boult, Arshdeep could take his place. Like Bumrah, he can bowl with the new ball, in the middle overs and at the death, giving MI more options in their bowling attack.
