IPL 2027: 3 MI bowlers who could be released after trading for Arshdeep Singh
With the IPL 2027 Retention Deadline on November 17, Mumbai Indians could part ways with some pacers following the Arshdeep Singh trade.
1. Shardul Thakur
Shardul Thakur contributed 12 wickets from 9 matches in IPL 2026, but his economy rate of 12.27 and a batting contribution of just 24 runs in 2026 raise questions about his value in the current setup.
The Impact Player rule, which is expected to continue for at least one more IPL season, reduces the premium placed on all-rounders who can bat lower down the order. With that rule set to persist, MI may decide Thakur's profile no longer fits their plans for IPL 2027.
