Arshdeep Singh’s father confirms pacer’s trade to Mumbai Indians ahead of IPL 2027 auction

hellohimachalse@gmail.com 10 Nov 2026 1 day ago

New Delhi: Arshdeep Singh’s move from to Mumbai Indians (MI) is all but complete. The left-arm pacer’s father has confirmed that the trade deal has been agreed and that Arshdeep is set to join Mumbai Indians from PBKS. His father admitted that the family is a little disappointed with Arshdeep leaving his home franchise, but insisted they are happy he is joining Mumbai Indians.

Arshdeep is reportedly set to join MI in a trade deal involving star Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya. Both players will swap teams in what is expected to be one of the blockbuster deals of the ongoing IPL trade window. However, there is still no official confirmation on whether a third player will be involved in the trade deal from PBKS.

Arshdeep’s father confirmed his move to Mumbai Indians while speaking to sports journalist Vimal Kumar in Hamilton in New Zealand. Arshdeep is currently part of India’s squad in the ODI series against New Zealand. His father revealed that the family learnt about the development recently.

“Yes, the trade is done. We are happy with Mumbai Indians,” said Arshdeep’s father.

“We also got to know it out of nowhere. There was a slight sadness that he is going away from his native place. But all franchises want to create a balance in the team, so they traded him. We are very happy with Mumbai Indians as well,” he added.

As per reports, Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings have agreed on a trade deal involving Hardik and Arshdeep . The official paperwork between the two sides has also been completed and sent to the BCCI for approval. Both teams are expected to make the deal official after the approval.

Arshdeep to leave Punjab Kings

Arshdeep has played only for the Punjab Kings in his IPL career so far and will be switching teams for the first time in the league. The left-arm pacer made his IPL debut for the Punjab Kings in 2019 and has since picked up 111 wickets in 96 matches in the league.

He is one of India’s leading pacers in T20Is and is the highest wicket-taker for the country in the shortest format. By acquiring Arshdeep, Mumbai Indians will get another established Indian pacer to complement Jasprit Bumrah in their pace attack.

On the other hand, Punjab Kings are set to land one of the best all-rounders in the world at present. Hardik not only offers explosive knocks with the bat, but he can be equally handy with the ball. He also has significant experience in the IPL and has led Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians in the league.

Both teams will gain heavily from the trade deal, but only time will tell which player will prove more impactful for their respective side after the exchange is completed.
