IPL 2027 : The biggest trade of IPL 2027 has been done successfully. Former Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya has now joined Punjab Kings. India's best T20 bowler Arshdeep Singh has left Punjab Kings under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer and joined five-time champion Mumbai Indians. Now amidst all this, another question is coming in the minds of cricket fans. The question is whether Shreyas Iyer will remain the captain of Punjab Kings or now Hardik Pandya will get the command of Punjab Kings. So today we are going to tell you about it in detail.

Punjab Kings have given Arshdeep Singh to Mumbai Indians for his current fee of ₹18 crore. Whereas Hardik Pandya has been included in Punjab Kings from Mumbai Indians at a fee of ₹ 18 crore, increasing from his current fee of ₹ 16.35 crore. Now after paying such an expensive price, will Punjab Kings also give Hardik Pandya the captaincy? How will the PBKS team use them properly? Let us know.

Iyer will remain the captain or Hardik will get the command

Punjab Kings bought Shreyas Iyer on 24 November 2024. In the mega auction of IPL 2025, Iyer went to Punjab team for Rs 26.75 crore. After this he was directly made the captain. Before that, Shreyas Iyer was the captain of Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders. He has also made KKR the champion. Iyer had taken the Punjab Kings team to the finals for the first time under his captaincy, but they lost to Royal Challengers Bangalore in the final of IPL 2027. Iyer has not been able to get the IPL trophy for Punjab Kings till now.

Whereas Hardik Pandya left Mumbai Indians and joined Gujarat Titans in the year 2022. Where he got the captaincy, when he was playing as a player in the Mumbai team. He made Gujarat team champion in his very first season. After this, in 2023, he took the team to the finals and in 2024, he himself became the captain of Mumbai Indians by replacing Rohit Sharma. Now Hardik Pandya has changed his team again for 18 crores. He has joined Punjab Kings.

Shreyas Iyer will remain captain

Now the biggest question has arisen that, will the management of Punjab Kings keep Shreyas Iyer as the captain or can it hand over the command to Hardik Pandya. So the answer is probably no? In IPL 2027, the Punjab Kings team will remain with Shreyas Iyer. She will make Iyer her captain, because Iyer is also the captain of the Indian cricket team at present. He has performed amazingly for Punjab Kings in the last two years as a captain and player. In such a situation, Punjab Kings would not want to take the risk of removing him.

Hardik will get big responsibility

The team can keep Hardik Pandya in the leadership role. Hardik Pandya can be given the vice-captaincy of the team. He can be seen using his experience and skills for the benefit of the team. He has the experience of leading two big and champion teams, but Hardik can be seen playing only as a fast bowling all-rounder in Punjab Kings in IPL 2027. However, nothing has been said yet by the team or any official on whether Shreyas Iyer will remain the captain of Punjab Kings or whether Hardik Pandya will get the command of Punjab Kings.
