Hardik Pandya expected to join Punjab Kings in trade for Arshdeep Singh
Reports indicate Hardik Pandya may swap Mumbai Indians for Punjab Kings in exchange for Arshdeep Singh ahead of the IPL 2027 auction. The BCCI must still ratify the deal.
Hardik Pandya is expected to move from Mumbai Indians to Punjab Kings in exchange for Arshdeep Singh. The proposed trade requires ratification by the BCCI before it becomes official.
The trade is being discussed ahead of the IPL 2027 auction. Hardik Pandya would play under Shreyas Iyer's captaincy at Punjab Kings if the trade occurs. Mumbai Indians did not include Hardik Pandya in their Diwali greeting post on November 8, 2026. Arshdeep Singh has never left Punjab Kings in his IPL career.
A claim that the trade was already confirmed originated from a fake fan account. The BCCI has not issued any official statement on the proposed swap.
CricHubb Take
The swap would give Punjab Kings a proven all-round leader while handing Mumbai Indians their first choice left-arm pacer. Both sides gain what they have lacked for two seasons.
