Arjun Tendulkar Shardul Trade: The retention list of IPL 2026 is going to be released soon. Before retention, the process of players being traded from one team to another continues. The deal between Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals regarding Sanju Samson and Ravindra Jadeja is almost done.

However, a shocking news has come to light regarding the trade of the 18th season of the Indian Premier League. Arjun Tendulkar is going to change his team in IPL for the first time and his ties with Mumbai Indians are going to be severed. A star player is going to enter the camp of MI, who can come from Lucknow Super Giants.

Arjun Tendulkar’s team will change

Arjun Tendulkar’s team is going to change for the first time in IPL history. According to the news of Cricbuzz, Lucknow Super Giants have shown interest in taking Arjun. LSG is ready to hand over Shardul Thakur to Mumbai Indians in exchange for Arjun. If this trade deal is done, then Shardul can be seen playing for MI in IPL 2026.

Shardul played a total of 10 matches for Lucknow last season and during this he took a total of 13 wickets in his kitty. At the same time, Arjun could not get a chance to play even a single match for MI last season. However, it is believed that this will be a full cash trade. That means this deal will be done not through players in exchange for players, but through money.

Shardul joined Lucknow for Rs 2 crore

Shardul Thakur remained unsold in the last auction. After this, he was added to the Lucknow Super Giants as a replacement team by spending Rs 2 crore. Shardul also impressed with his bowling and took a total of 13 wickets in 10 matches. However, he completely failed to leave his mark with the bat and could score only 18 runs. At the same time, Arjun has played a total of 5 matches in IPL so far, in which he has scored a total of 13 runs along with taking 3 wickets.
