Hardik Pandya and MS Dhoni
IPL 2024 Most Expensive Trade Deal: Hardik Pandya has once again returned to his old IPL team Mumbai Indians. He made his debut in IPL for Mumbai Indians in the year 2015. After this, due to his game, he was also selected for Team India and also became the captain. But after the 2021 IPL, he was released before the 2022 mega auction. In fact, before the mega auction, any team can retain only four of its players. Mumbai Indians picked Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav and Kieron Pollard and let Hardik go. But before he could go to the auction again, he was bought by the new IPL team Gujarat Titans. But now he has separated from GT and again moved to MI under a trade deal. It is said that Hardik has received Rs 15 crore for this. Although you might be thinking that he would be the most expensive player in the trade deal in IPL history till now, but it is not so.
Mumbai Indians invited Hardik Pandya back home by giving him Rs 15 crore.
Hardik Pandya was not only bought by Gujarat Titans but also made him their captain. Hardik also did not disappoint GT and captured the title for the first time in the year 2022. After this, his team also managed to reach the finals in the 2023 IPL. It was revealed that Gujarat Titans was paying Rs 15 crore to Hardik Pandya for one season. Now it is said that Mumbai Indians will give him the same amount of money. Although such news was already coming that Hardik Pandya is going back to Mumbai Indians, but the final seal on this has been put on 27th November. But even after getting Rs 15 crore, Hardik Pandya is not the most expensive player in the trade deal.
RCB bought Cameron Green from Mumbai Indians for Rs 17.50 crore in a trade deal.
Actually, Hardik Pandya is such a big player, the news of Cameron Green got hidden amidst his deal. Just as Mumbai Indians have made a trade deal for Hardik Pandya from GT, similarly RCB has also made a trade deal for Cameron Green from Mumbai Indians. Cameron Green was bought by Mumbai Indians for Rs 17.50 crore before the IPL last year. He also got a chance to play and he managed to perform well. After this, now he will be seen playing for RCB in the next season for the same amount i.e. 17.50 crores.
Cameron Green’s performance in IPL is like this

His average is more than 50 and strike rate is more than 160. He has scored one century and two half-centuries.
