Mumbai were keen on Arshdeep: Ness Wadia reveals how Hardik trade materialised
· Sports · Times of India, Indian Express
Punjab Kings co-owner Ness Wadia confirmed Mumbai Indians were keen on Arshdeep Singh during the Hardik Pandya trade negotiations. The trade saw Arshdeep Singh join Mumbai Indians in a straight swap deal for Hardik Pandya, who was acquired as a long-term investment rather than a short-term fix. Wadia stated the decision to part ways with Arshdeep was difficult but necessary to strengthen the franchise's championship ambitions. Punjab Kings, based in Mohali, have yet to win their maiden IPL title despite showing promise over the past two seasons.
Why it matters
The trade reshuffles IPL squad dynamics, with Punjab Kings losing a key pace bowler and Mumbai Indians gaining an India international pacer, directly impacting both teams' title prospects for the upcoming season.
