Arjun Tendulkar, who joined Mumbai Indians in 2021, is reportedly on the verge of leaving the team in a sensational swap deal with Lucknow Super Giants. The deal involves two-time IPL champion Shardul Thakur being offered in exchange for Arjun. While Arjun has only played five matches for Mumbai Indians, Lucknow sees Thakur as a valuable addition to their squad. The trade is said to be a straightforward all-cash transfer, with both franchises in discussions over the deal. Shardul, who went unsold in the previous auction, was picked up by Lucknow for the 2025 season and performed well with 13 wickets in 10 matches. The confirmation of the trade is expected to be made on the retention deadline date of November 15. The swap deal has created a buzz in the Mumbai cricket circle, with fans eagerly awaiting the official announcement from the BCCI.
