"Poor Choice": Ex-Australia Star On Cameron Green's Trade To Royal Challengers Bangalore From Mumbai Indians
Former Australia spinner Brad Hogg feels while trading in Hardik Pandya was a good move from Mumbai Indians (MI), Cameron Green's move to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) could turn out to be a poor one. MI traded in Hardik for an undisclosed fee from Gujarat Titans, while the five-time champions traded Australia all-rounder Green to RCB for a sum of Rs 17.5 crore. Hogg feels that instead of buying Green, RCB should've invested their money in improving the quality of their bowling department.

Royal Challengers Bangalore Complete Massive Signing From Mumbai Indians Amid Hardik Pandya Trade Saga: Report
India's T20I captain Hardik Pandya on Sunday returned to his "spiritual home" Mumbai Indians after an all-cash deal trade-off with Gujarat Titans was formally completed following 72 hours of intense drama. On Sunday at 5 pm, the IPL retention window was closed and at that point, Gujarat Titans named their IPL-winning captain in the retention list raising a lot of eyebrows. However it was learnt that the formal paperwork wasn't yet completed and hence IPL and BCCI didn't give greenlight of approval for the most anticipated move of this transfer season. "Yes, Hardik's trade off got completed after 5 pm. The deal is now formalised and he is a MI player. It's been a tripartite all cash deal. MI have traded their all-rounder Cameron Green to RCB in an all cash deal. After that they had requisite funds to settle an all-cash deal with Gujarat Titans and procure Hardik's services," a senior BCCI official and IPL Governing Council member told PTI on conditions of anonymity.
