\n<\/p>\n

Talk of Hardik Pandya swapping Mumbai blue for Chennai yellow has dominated this off-season\u2019s rumour mill, with MI reportedly angling for Ayush Mhatre and Shivam Dube (or Dewald Brevis) in return. Nothing\u2019s signed yet, but if it lands, it would rank among the IPL\u2019s most seismic trades \u2014 a fitting moment to revisit deals that have turned heads in the past.<\/p>\n

1. Sanju Samson (Rajasthan Royals to Chennai Super Kings, 2026) \u2014 Rs 18 crore<\/b><\/p>\n

One of the biggest pre-auction trades in IPL history. RR\u2019s long-serving captain, with the team since his 2013 debut, moved to CSK in a straight swap for Ravindra Jadeja \u2014 back at his first franchise after 14 years in Chennai \u2014 and Sam Curran. Samson\u2019s start was shaky, three low scores before an unbeaten 115 against Delhi Capitals, but the trade reshaped both dressing rooms overnight.<\/p>\n

2. Cameron Green (Mumbai Indians to RCB, 2024) \u2014 Rs 17.5 crore<\/b><\/p>\n

Still one of the most expensive trade the league has seen. RCB absorbed Green\u2019s full MI contract in a straight cash deal, banking on the all-rounder\u2019s utility with bat and ball to finally end its title drought. MI, mid-rebuild, cashed in on an asset who hadn\u2019t quite settled into its XI.<\/p>\n

3. Hardik Pandya (Gujarat Titans to Mumbai Indians, 2024) \u2014 Rs 15 crore<\/b><\/p>\n

The most theatrical trade in IPL history. Pandya, who\u2019d led Gujarat to a title and a final in two seasons, was recalled to Mumbai and handed the captaincy over Rohit Sharma \u2014 a switch that split the fanbase and drew boos through the season.<\/p>\n

4. Dinesh Karthik (Kings XI Punjab to Mumbai Indians, 2012)<\/b><\/p>\n

An all-cash deal struck before the 2012 auction, this one repaid itself instantly. Karthik made 510 runs in 2013 IPL and anchored Mumbai\u2019s middle order as it won its maiden title that season.<\/p>\n

5. Shikhar Dhawan (Sunrisers Hyderabad to Delhi Capitals, 2019)<\/b><\/p>\n

A rare three-for-one: Vijay Shankar, Abhishek Sharma and Shahbaz Nadeem moved to Hyderabad, plus Rs 1.75 crore back to Delhi to balance the books. Dhawan, unhappy with his SRH valuation, returned to his home franchise and kept opening for it well into his late thirties \u2014 one of the few players traded in multiple high-profile deals across his career.<\/p>\n

6. Ashish Nehra\u2013Shikhar Dhawan swap (Mumbai Indians\u2013Delhi Daredevils, 2009)<\/b><\/p>\n

The trade that quietly launched two careers in opposite directions. Nehra, coming off a wicketless 2008, moved to Delhi and returned 19 wickets at an economy of 6.78 in 2009 \u2014 third-best in the tournament. Dhawan headed to Mumbai, still years from his opening-bat prime. What looked like a modest bet at the time would prove decisive in hindsight.<\/p>\n
