The five-time IPL champions have brought left-arm fast bowler Arshdeep Singh into their squad in this major player swap, but Hardik Pandya's departure has left them with a need for a new captain ahead of the IPL 2027. The IPL 2027 auction is scheduled for December 16 in Goa.
There has already been massive buzz around Rohit Sharma making a comeback as the Mumbai Indians captain. Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, and Jasprit Bumrah are also being seen as possible options to replace Hardik Pandya as the MI skipper.
The MI said in an official statement, "As the Mumbai Indians look ahead to the upcoming season, the franchise will take a considered approach to evaluating its captaincy options. An announcement regarding the team's captaincy will be made at the appropriate time.”
Hardik Pandya's MI journey ends as India all-rounder joins PBKS
Hardik Pandya’s move brings an end to his long association with Mumbai. He joined the franchise as a young player in 2015 and went on to become one of the biggest all-rounders in T20 cricket. The Indian all-rounder played an important part in MI's four IPL title-winning campaigns before moving to Gujarat Titans.
His move to PBKS has also increased his IPL salary. Hardik will now earn ₹18 crore, compared to the ₹16.35 crore he received from MI. Across 162 IPL matches, the all-rounder has scored 2955 runs at a strike rate of 146.28 and taken 82 wickets so far in the league.
MI strengthen pace attack with Arshdeep Singh
Arshdeep Singh has joined the Mumbai Indians. The left-arm pacer has ended his eight-season association with PBKS, having made his IPL debut back in 2019. The left-arm fast bowler leaves as the PBKS’ highest wicket-taker with 111 wickets from 96 matches.
The Punjab lad picked up 21 wickets in the 2025 IPL season and followed it up with 14 wickets in 2026. His arrival is a big boost for Mumbai Indians, especially with Jasprit Bumrah already leading their pace attack. Arshdeep can share the new-ball responsibility with Bumrah.
