As of right now, neither team has officially announced the deal, but it will be the largest player transaction in IPL history.
For the forthcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season, star all-arounder Hardik Pandya is expected to part ways with his present squad, the Gujarat Titans (GT), and rejoin his old team, the Mumbai Indians, according to news sources
The 30-year-old player’s salary of Rs 15 crore and an unknown transfer fee to the Titans are the only terms of the all-cash transaction. Hardik might receive as much as 50% of the transfer money, per to news report.
The transaction will be regarded as the largest player trade in IPL history if it is executed successfully. Neither franchise has officially announced it as of yet.
In addition to leading the Gujarat-based team to victory in the 2022 IPL season, the all-around player was named “Player of the Match” in the match’s decisive victory over the Rajasthan Royals.
GT secured their spot in the IPL final for the second time in their first two seasons during the previous IPL season. They were runners-up in 2023, though, after losing to the Chennai Super Kings.
After Ravichandran Ashwin moved from Punjab Kings to Delhi Capitals, the 30-year-old will be the third captain to be swapped if the deal is completed. The second occasion occurred in 2020 when Ajinkya Rahane was traded by the Rajasthan Royals to the Capitals.
It was during the 2015 season that Hardik debuted. After that, he participated in 123 matches during which he took 53 wickets and amassed 2,309 runs with a strike percentage of 139.89.
