Arshdeep Singh moves to Mumbai Indians as part of a high-profile player swap ahead of the 2027 IPL season.
Mumbai Indians (MI) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) have completed a major player trade involving Hardik Pandya and Arshdeep Singh, according to a statement from the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Pandya will join PBKS at a revised fee of Rs 18 crore, up from his previous fee of Rs 16.35 crore. Arshdeep Singh will move to MI at his existing fee of Rs 18 crore.
The trade follows negotiations where the franchises settled on a straight swap, dropping an option to include PBKS reserve wicketkeeper Vishnu Vinod. Sportstar reported that the deal was reached ahead of the 2027 season.
Arshdeep, a left-arm pacer, has taken 111 wickets in 96 matches for PBKS since his debut in 2019. He was previously acquired by Punjab for Rs 18 crore using the Right-to-Match (RTM) option during the last mega auction.
Pandya, who previously captained MI, will play for his third franchise after stints with Gujarat Titans. His recent seasons at MI included a ninth-place finish in 2026 and various injury setbacks, including back spasms and a shin injury.
The pre-auction trading window is expected to remain active until the November 17 deadline.
