"Humein bhi surprisingly pata laga" - Team India star's father confirms high-profile trade ahead of IPL 2027 auction

Arshdeep Singh’s father said the family learned of the proposed swap unexpectedly, while Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings await final approval.

  • On Wednesday, Punjab Kings officially acquired Mumbai Indians all-rounder Hardik Pandya in a blockbuster trade, with India pacer Arshdeep Singh moving to the five-time champions ahead of the IPL 2027 auction on December 16.
  • Arshdeep's father, Darshan Singh, revealed the family was taken by surprise, with no prior discussions about the swap occurring while he accompanied his son on India's New Zealand tour.
  • Darshan explained the emotional difficulty of leaving Punjab, saying, "Kings XI Punjab was like a native place for him," yet expressed happiness about the Mumbai move, citing familiar teammates Jasprit Bumrah and Suryakumar Yadav.
  • Arshdeep departs as Punjab's all-time leading wicket-taker with 111 wickets in 96 matches since his 2019 debut and will retain his existing salary upon joining Mumbai Indians.
  • Franchises are aggressively restructuring squads ahead of the IPL auction, with this trade marking the end of a significant chapter for Punjab as teams balance roster requirements for the upcoming season.
