Srinagar: The report that has sent shock waves across cricket World economics, it has been claimed that Mumbai Indians paid a whopping Rs 100 Crores as transfer fee to Gujarat Titans for Hardik Pandya’s IPL trade.
Days before IPL 2024 Auction, Mumbai Indians secured services of Hardik Pandya from Gujarat Titans in a trade deal for Rs 15 Crores.Pandya was also named the Mumbai Indians captain replacing Rohit Sharma.

Gujarat Titans are owned by CVC Capitals which paid Rs 5625 crores to BCCI to be a part of the IPL for 10 years. The earnings from the Pandya trade deal will be made visible on the CVC Capitals balance sheet at the end of this financial year which could help them to get a spike in the company’s valuation.
