Mumbai Indians have struggled in recent seasons, and a potential move for Arshdeep Singh ahead of IPL 2027 could address their most pressing bowling needs.
Mumbai Indians endured back-to-back difficult IPL campaigns, finishing 10th in IPL 2024 and 9th in IPL 2026, winning just four matches in each of those seasons. With IPL 2027 on the horizon, the franchise will be looking to rebuild their bowling attack around Jasprit Bumrah. One name that could transform their fortunes is Arshdeep Singh, currently 27 years old and at the peak of his powers.
The left-arm pacer has been India's most consistent T20 bowler over the past few seasons, and a potential move to MI ahead of IPL 2027 would make their attack considerably more threatening.
Here are Top 3 reasons why having Arshdeep can help MI win sixth IPL trophy:
3. India's highest wicket-taker in T20Is
India's leading wicket-taker in T20 Internationals, Arshdeep Singh had taken 151 wickets from 104 T20Is at an average of 20.74 as of November 2026. That tally puts him in the elite tier of being the first Indian to claim 150 T20I scalps, a landmark that underlines just how prolific he has been at the international level for the Men in Blue, ever since his debut in 2022.
He was also the first Indian bowler to reach 100 T20I wickets, and in the same calendar year he broke Bhuvneshwar Kumar's record of 37 T20I wickets in a single year, finishing that year with 38. His IPL numbers are equally impressive: 102 wickets in 87 games for Punjab Kings since his debut in 2019, at an average of 26.87 and an economy of 9.50. He surpassed Piyush Chawla's PBKS record of 84 scalps to become the franchise's all-time leading wicket-taker, and he reached his 200th T20 appearance during PBKS's IPL 2026 match against Lucknow Super Giants in New Chandigarh.
