IPL 2026 Retention for the upcoming season is underway, with franchises strategizing their retention and release policies. Alongside, trade deals have also begun among IPL teams. Speculations are rife regarding possible trades for players like Sanju Samson and Ravindra Jadeja. In this context, Mumbai Indians have called back an ex-player for the 18th season of the league.
In the prelude to the mini-auction, a trade has been finalized between Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians for all-rounder Shardul Thakur. Shardul Thakur will now play again for Mumbai Indians. Mumbai Indians have traded with Lucknow Super Giants, acquiring the all-rounder for ₹2 crores as a replacement for the 18th season of the league.
In the 2025 season, Shardul Thakur played 10 matches for Lucknow and took 13 wickets. He has proven to be a valuable player for Lucknow and has consistently delivered remarkable performances in the IPL for any franchise he has played for. Mumbai Indians have now purchased this all-rounder for 2 crores rupees.
It is worth mentioning that Shardul Thakur remained unsold in the IPL mega auction in 2025. He was bought by Lucknow Super Giants at ₹2 crores, replacing Mohsin Khan. In 2024, he was part of Chennai Super Kings, for which he was bought at ₹4 crores. During that season, he took 5 wickets in 9 matches.
