Arshdeep Singh's first message after joining Mumbai Indians - WATCH
Mumbai Indians, the five-time champions, have signed the left-arm fast bowler in exchange for their captain Hardik Pandya, who will now play for Punjab Kings. Arshdeep shared his first message after joining Mumbai Indians in a video posted by the franchise on social media.
Mumbai Indians have announced the signing of left-arm fast bowler Arshdeep Singh in a player trade with Punjab Kings for next year's Indian Premier League (IPL) season. In exchange, Mumbai will release their current captain, Hardik Pandya, to Punjab Kings. Arshdeep addressed his new team in a video shared by Mumbai Indians on social media, declaring, "MI Paltan, duniya hila denge," which translates to "MI Paltan, we will shake the world."
The trade concluded Pandya's second tenure with Mumbai Indians, concluding a seven-season stay where he played crucial roles in four IPL titles from 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020. Prior to joining Gujarat Titans in 2022, Pandya helped MI secure those titles. His return to Mumbai this season marks a new chapter as he prepares to begin his career with the franchise after eight seasons with Punjab Kings.
Arshdeep, who made his IPL debut for Punjab in 2019, stands as the franchise's leading wicket-taker with 111 dismissals in 96 matches. His formidable ability to strike the new ball and confine his bowling to death overs has cemented him as a vital asset in Punjab's bowling lineup. Arshdeep struck 21 wickets in the 2025 IPL season, followed by a solid 14 wickets in the 2026 campaign.
