NEW DELHI — In a major shake-up of the Twenty20 roster, Mumbai Indians have traded their captain Hardik Pandya to Punjab Kings, receiving left-arm seamer Arshdeep Singh in return, the IPL announced Wednesday.
The trade represents one of the most significant player movements ahead of the 2025 season, with Pandya departing the franchise where he has been a key player and leader. The all-rounder's departure from Mumbai marks a notable transition for the six-time IPL champions.
Arshdeep Singh, a promising young fast bowler, joins Mumbai Indians as part of the exchange. The move reflects both franchises' strategic efforts to reshape their squads for the upcoming season.
The trade is subject to IPL regulations and was confirmed by competition organisers on Wednesday. Additional squad adjustments by other franchises are expected as teams finalize their rosters for the 2025 tournament.
