On Wednesday, November 11, the IPL officially announced the trade of Hardik Pandya to Punjab Kings and Arshdeep Singh to Mumbai Indians. It also ended Hardik Pandya’s 3-year-long return to the five-time winners.

It was the second time that Hardik Pandya has been traded in IPL history. He was earlier part of Gujarat Titans and then moved to Mumbai Indians in an all-cash deal in 2024. Now, Hardik is not the only player to have been traded twice. 

Therefore, this article will shed light on the list of all players who have been traded twice in IPL history.

1. Ross Taylor

New Zealand legend Ross Taylor was the first-ever player in IPL history to be traded twice. Firstly, Taylor was transferred to Delhi Capitals (Then Daredevils) from Rajasthan Royals ahead of IPL 2012. 

Taylor earned $1 million for the 2011 edition of the league and was moved to the Capitals for an undisclosed amount. The right-handed batter played for the Capitals for just one season before moving to Pune Warriors India in 2013.

The Capitals brought in Ashish Nehra in a player-exchange deal.

Four years later, Ashish Nehra was playing for Pune Warriors India when Delhi Daredevils brought him back to the team in exchange for Ross Taylor.
