Hardik Pandya moves back to Mumbai Indians from Gujarat Titans

This Cameron Green trade was part of a two-way trade happening between three franchises. Giving Cameron Green to RCB meant that MI earned INR 17.50 crores giving them enough money to then trade in Hardik Pandya from Gujarat Titans. This was also an all-cash deal between MI and GT.

“Gujarat Titans’ (GT) captain, Hardik Pandya, is set to move back to his first franchise, Mumbai Indians, following a trade between the two franchises. The all-rounder spent two momentous years with GT, spearheading their campaign with aplomb. In GT’s debut season in 2022, Hardik ensured a fairytale start, with the team lifting the coveted trophy, while they finished runners-up in their second season after a last-ball defeat in a thrilling final earlier this year,” IPL statement read.

Hardik Pandya was with MI from 2015-2021 and was then picked up by Gujarat Titans ahead of IPL 2022 mega auction. Pandya then was named captain of the side and led GT to IPL 2022 title win and to the finals of IPL 2023 tournament. Hence, GT letting go of their brilliant captain has been a move that has left many experts scratching their heads.
