Arshdeep likely to move to MI, who traded Hardik to PBKS.
The biggest trade rumours doing the rounds are of Hardik Pandya’s potential trade to Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Arshdeep Singh moving from PBKS to Mumbai Indians (MI).
Several news outlets, including Sportskeeda and ESPNcricinfo, have reported that talks between Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings on a potential trade involving Hardik Pandya and Arshdeep Singh are nearing an end. As per the agreement, Arshdeep might join MI, and Hardik could relocate to PBKS.
Reports say both teams have expressed interest and are awaiting the players' final clearance and IPL authorities' sanction. In the run-up to the IPL 2027 season, this transaction might become a hot topic of conversation if it is finalised.
During the rain break, Axar Patel made the decision to tease Arshdeep Singh, and the all-rounder teased the left-arm fast bowler about his potential new IPL squad while singing the well-known "Duniya Hila Denge" tagline from the Mumbai Indians.
It's interesting to note that rumors are going on regarding Axar Patel's potential transfer from the Delhi Capitals (DC) to the Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
Players even made jokes about Axar potentially wearing CSK's iconic yellow shirt, in the presence of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain Ruturaj Gaikwad. This added to the entertainment value of the whole event.
