Ahead of the IPL 2027 season, a significant player trade has occurred, with Hardik Pandya moving to Mumbai Indians and Arshdeep Singh joining Punjab Kings. Both players are set to command substantial salaries of Rs 18 crore each for the upcoming season.
Arshdeep Singh's new contract places him among the top earners at Mumbai Indians, surpassing former India captains Suryakumar Yadav (Rs 16.35 crore) and Rohit Sharma (Rs 16.30 crore). Hardik Pandya, now at Punjab Kings, sees his salary increase to Rs 18 crore, making him the joint second-highest earner with Yuzvendra Chahal. Shreyas Iyer remains the highest-paid player in the league at Punjab Kings.
In another notable financial shift, Rishabh Pant has taken a significant pay cut, agreeing to a Rs 15 crore salary with Delhi Capitals.
