For the 20th season of IPL, different franchises have made many big trades, which include the names of star players like Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Kuldeep Yadav and Arshdeep Singh. This time the teams of a total of 10 players have changed. Some players have got a chance to return to their old team, while some will be seen trying their luck in a new environment.

Rishabh Pant returns to Delhi Capitals

Before IPL 2027, Rishabh Pant has left Lucknow Super Giants. Before the mini auction, LSG has traded with Delhi Capitals. Pant will once again be seen playing for his old team Delhi. However, to make this comeback he had to take a big cut in his salary. In Lucknow he was getting Rs 27 crore, whereas in Delhi he will now get Rs 15 crore.

At the same time, DC's experienced spinner Kuldeep Yadav will now be a part of Lucknow Super Giants. He will get only his old salary of Rs 13.25 crore. Apart from this, fast bowler T Natarajan has also left Delhi and returned to Sunrisers Hyderabad. His salary has reduced from Rs 10.75 crore to Rs 5 crore. Zeeshan Ansari, who reached Delhi from Hyderabad, will get only Rs 40 lakh.

Big trade also happened between Chennai and Hyderabad

There has also been an exchange of four players between Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad. England's powerful all-rounder Liam Livingstone will now play in the yellow jersey of Chennai. Hyderabad had signed him for Rs 13 crore, but in CSK his salary has come down to Rs 6 crore.

Jack Edwards of Australia has also reached Chennai from Hyderabad. Now he will get a chance to show his strength on behalf of CSK. On the other hand, Khalil Ahmed and Nathan Ellis have left Chennai and joined the Hyderabad team. Khalil will get Rs 4.8 crore and Ellis will get Rs 2 crore.

Hardik entered Punjab Kings

The biggest deal of this trade window is to Hardik Pandya and Arshdeep Singh. Mumbai Indians have traded their captain Hardik with Punjab Kings. He will play for Punjab on a salary of Rs 18 crore. This will be the third franchise of Hardik, who made his IPL debut in 2015. He also captained Mumbai for three years and proved to be a complete flop.

Whereas, Arshdeep Singh will now play for Mumbai Indians. His journey with Punjab Kings is over. Arshdeep will also get Rs 18 crore. In this way, the picture of many teams has changed before IPL 2027 and now the fans will be waiting to see these players in the new jersey.
