Arshdeep Singh has been traded to Mumbai Indians ahead of IPL 2027 in a deal valued at INR 18 crore, with Hardik Pandya moving in the opposite direction to Punjab Kings as part of the same exchange. The trade brings Arshdeep to a franchise he has challenged consistently throughout his IPL career.

Against Mumbai Indians across 11 matches, Arshdeep has taken 13 wickets at a bowling average of 28.77 and an economy rate of 9.16. His best bowling figures against them stand at 4/29, numbers that reflect a sustained threat he has posed to their batting order over multiple seasons.

One of the defining moments in that record came at Wankhede Stadium, where Arshdeep claimed his 100th IPL wicket by dismissing Ryan Rickelton. Taking that milestone at Mumbai Indians' home ground gave his record against them an added layer of significance.

Arshdeep made his IPL debut with Punjab Kings in 2019 and went on to become the franchise's all-time leading wicket-taker. In 96 matches for Punjab Kings, he claimed 111 wickets, a tally no other bowler in the franchise's history has surpassed.

What do Arshdeep Singh's recent IPL seasons tell us about his form?

Arshdeep's output in the two seasons immediately before the trade points to a bowler in strong form. He took 21 wickets in IPL 2025 and followed that with 14 wickets in IPL 2026, giving him 35 wickets across those two campaigns combined.

His IPL 2026 outing against Mumbai Indians was among the sharper returns of that season. He finished with figures of 3/22 against them, a display that showed his ability to restrict and take wickets against a batting group known for its depth and firepower.

These numbers provide the statistical backdrop to a trade that sees him leave the franchise where he built his IPL reputation and join the one he has repeatedly troubled as an opponent.

What is the context of the Hardik Pandya side of the trade?

The exchange also brings an end to Hardik Pandya's second stint with Mumbai Indians. During that spell, Hardik appeared in 39 matches for the franchise, scoring 647 runs and taking 29 wickets before the trade concluded his time there. His three seasons in that second stint did not produce a title for Mumbai Indians, and the franchise has now moved to reshape their squad with Arshdeep as the headline incoming asset.

As a specific honourable mention, Arshdeep produced a memorable performance at Wankhede Stadium in IPL 2023, bowling consecutive swinging yorkers in the final over to shatter the stumps of Mumbai Indians' middle-to-lower order batters. That display, alongside his 3/22 in IPL 2026 and the 100th IPL wicket milestone taken at the same venue, remains among the more recalled passages of play from his record against them.
