  "account": "Flamboyant all-rounder Hardik Pandya has transferred from Mumbai Indians to Punjab Kings for Rs 18 crore, while Punjab traded pacer Arshdeep Singh to Mumbai Indians for the same fee, as reported in an IPL statement. Pandya's previous compensation was Rs 16.35 crore. Arshdeep joined Mumbai Indians at the unchanged cost of Rs 18 crore. The transfer fee is a mutual agreement between the two franchises and does not affect the players' salaries. Pandya's trade concludes his second tenure with Mumbai Indians, a team where he clinched four IPL titles from 2015 to 2020. Before MI, Pandya played for Chennai Super Kings, Gujarat Titans, and Rajasthan Royals. The move signifies the end of Pandya's association with Mumbai Indians and marks a new chapter in his career.",
