Gujarat Titans (GT) captain Hardik Pandya was traded to his original franchise the Mumbai Indians (MI) on November 27, 2023. This trade was a cash trade that happened with Gujarat Titans not getting any player in return.

In order to facilitate the trade and get Hardik Pandya, MI traded Australian all-rounder Cameron Green to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). This was an all-cash transaction which got MI INR 17.5 crore, the league value of the Australian all-rounder.

Then MI traded in Hardik Pandya from GT, which means that the Titans' purse will increase by INR 15 crore, which was Hardik's salary, they will also receive from Mumbai an additional transfer fee which they will need to disclose to IPL. The IPL website confirmed these two trades.  

Gujarat Titans’ (GT) captain, Hardik Pandya, is set to move back to his first franchise, Mumbai Indians, following a trade between the two franchises. The all-rounder spent two momentous years with GT, spearheading their campaign with aplomb. In GT’s debut season in 2022, Hardik ensured a fairytale start, with the team lifting the coveted trophy, while they finished runners-up in their second season after a last-ball defeat in a thrilling final earlier this year.

In a separate trade, MI all-rounder Cameron Green has been traded to Royal Challengers Bangalore. Green, who was bought for a whopping ₹17,50,00,000 at the auction last December, featured in 16 matches. The Australian had an impressive start to the IPL, hitting an unbeaten century and two half-centuries while also taking six wickets. Both trades have been carried out as per the existing player fees,” the official statement by the IPL read.
