IPL 2027 Trades List: Hardik Pandya to PBKS, Arshdeep to MI and Every Confirmed Swap So Far
Hardik Pandya has moved from Mumbai Indians to Punjab Kings and Arshdeep Singh has gone the other way in the biggest trade of the IPL 2027 window. Here is the full list of confirmed trades, fees, the November 17 retention deadline and the December 16 auction.
The IPL 2027 trades window has produced its biggest deal yet. Mumbai Indians (MI) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) have completed a straight swap of two of India's top white-ball players: Hardik Pandya moves to Punjab, and Arshdeep Singh heads to Mumbai. The IPL confirmed the deal on 11 November.
The Hardik–Arshdeep swap in numbers
- Hardik Pandya: MI to PBKS, new fee Rs 18 crore (up from Rs 16.35 crore)
- Arshdeep Singh: PBKS to MI, at his existing fee of Rs 18 crore
PBKS will be Hardik's third IPL team. He debuted for MI in 2015, won four titles with them (2015, 2017, 2019, 2020), then led Gujarat Titans to the title in 2022 and another final in 2023 before returning to MI as captain in 2024. Under him, MI finished last in 2024, made the playoffs in 2025 and finished ninth in 2026. In all, MI won 15 and lost 24 of the 39 matches he captained.
Hardik quickly ended any talk of a leadership tussle in Punjab. Posting in PBKS colours on Instagram, he wrote: "Sat Sri Akal. My captain, Shreyas... I am standing behind you." Shreyas Iyer remains PBKS captain.
What MI get in Arshdeep
Arshdeep Singh leaves PBKS after eight seasons and 96 matches. His 111 wickets are the most by any bowler for the franchise. He is also India's leading wicket-taker in T20Is, with 151 wickets in 104 matches, and now forms a new-ball pairing with Jasprit Bumrah at the Wankhede.
"Arshdeep's arrival adds an exciting dimension to our bowling attack," MI co-owner Akash Ambani said. MI also need a new captain after Hardik's exit; they have already rebuilt their support staff, with Kieron Pollard as head coach (see our story on MI's new coaching staff), and earlier reports had linked Rohit Sharma with a return to the captaincy.

Key dates: retention deadline and auction
