IPL 2024: Hardik Pandya Has Been Traded To Mumbai Indians

A mini-auction is going to be held before IPL 2024 and before this, every franchise has released its retain and release list on Sunday evening. Fans were eagerly waiting for this list because the news had come that Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya would join Mumbai Indians through trade. But Gujarat released the list and retained Pandya and the fans were completely shocked to hear this news. However, fans were once again shocked when the news came that Hardik Pandya had been traded to Mumbai Indians.

Hardik Pandya has joined Mumbai Indians through cash trade. This deal has been signed between Gujarat and Mumbai Indians. Pandya has been signed for Rs 15 crore. Let us tell you that its official announcement has not been made yet but this news will reach the fans within some time. Pandya was a part of Mumbai Indians since the beginning but he was released in the year 2021, after which he joined Gujarat Titans.

How was the deal done?

Let us tell you that Mumbai Indians did not have much money to buy Hardik Pandya. Mumbai Indians had a total of Rs 15.25 crore in their purse and if they had taken Hardik in this, they would not have had any money left to go ahead in the auction. In such a situation, behind the scenes, Mumbai traded Cameron Green to RCB. After trading Green for Rs 17.50 crore, Mumbai now has the money to buy Hardik. Even if Hardik comes to Mumbai for 15 crores, Mumbai will still have Cameron Green’s money saved and in this, they can buy more players in the auction.

Pandya’s career

Hardik Pandya joined Gujarat in the year 2022 and in the very first season, this captain became the team champion. Pandya also received the Player of the Match award against Rajasthan Royals in the 2022 IPL final. In the year 2023 season, under the captaincy of Hardik, the team reached the finals but the team lost against Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings and the team was the runner-up. Hardik was with Mumbai Indians for 6 seasons. He captured the title with Mumbai in 2015, 2017, 2017, and 2019. But in the year 2021, the team released him. Pandya has scored 2309 runs in 123 IPL matches. During this period, his average was 30.38, and his strike rate was 145.86. Pandya has scored 10 half-centuries. He has taken a total of 53 wickets with the ball.
