The speculation surrounding Hardik Pandya potentially moving from Mumbai Indians to Chennai Super Kings has been a hot topic during the off-season. Reports suggest that Mumbai Indians are eyeing Ayush Mhatre and either Shivam Dube or Dewald Brevis in exchange for Pandya. While nothing has been confirmed yet, if the trade goes through, it would be one of the most significant trades in IPL history.
Looking back at some of the past notable trades in the IPL, one that stands out is Sanju Samson moving from Rajasthan Royals to Chennai Super Kings in 2026 for a whopping Rs 18 crore. Another big trade was Cameron Green’s move from Mumbai Indians to Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2024 for Rs 17.5 crore, making it one of the most expensive trades in the league.
Hardik Pandya’s trade from Gujarat Titans to Mumbai Indians in 2024 for Rs 15 crore was also a headline-grabbing move, especially as he was handed the captaincy over Rohit Sharma. Dinesh Karthik’s move from Kings XI Punjab to Mumbai Indians in 2012 proved to be a successful all-cash deal as he played a crucial role in Mumbai’s maiden title win that season.
Shikhar Dhawan’s trade from Sunrisers Hyderabad to Delhi Capitals in 2019 was a rare three-for-one deal, with Vijay Shankar, Abhishek Sharma, and Shahbaz Nadeem moving in the opposite direction along with cash to balance the books. Additionally, the Ashish Nehra-Shikhar Dhawan swap between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Daredevils in 2009 proved to be a pivotal move for both players’ careers.
Overall, these trades have reshaped teams and players’ futures in the IPL, making them some of the most memorable deals in the league’s history.
