Lucknow Super Giants have completed all-cash moves for Arjun Tendulkar and Mohammed Shami as Nitish Rana leaves Rajasthan Royals to join Delhi Capitals on Saturday, November 15. Tendulkar has been a part of MI since 2021 but made his debut in 2023. He played a total of five matches for the three five-time champions and picked them. Tendulkar joins Lucknow for 30 Lakhs.
Shami’s move to LSG was teased by the franchise on Fridayhow he struggled with SRH last season. The Indian pacer played just nine matches and picked up 6 wickets for the Sunrisers as he struggled for rhythm and fitness after returning from a long injury lay-off. He was bought by SRH for Rs. 10 million crowns.
“Bowling all-rounder Arjun Tendulkar will represent Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) after a successful transfer from Mumbai Indians. Arjun will move to LSG for an existing fee of INR 30 Lakh,” an IPL statement said.
“Veteran fast bowler Mohd Shami will turn out for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) after a successful trade from Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Shami, the second most expensive acquisition for SRH ahead of the IPL 2025 season at INR 10 million, will join LSG at his existing fee,” the statement said.
MI managed to complete the deal and get Mayank Markande back from KKR for 30 Lakhs.
Rana goes to DC, Fereira goes to RR
In another big move, Delhi managed to get the services of Nitish from RR. Rana joins the team for Rs. 4.2 Crore after scoring 217 runs in 11 matches for Royals in IPL 2025. Rana is a title winner with KKR and MI during his IPL career and will provide much needed middle order for DC.
Ferreira will return to RR for 1 crore as his fees were revised from the 75 Lakhs Delhi paid for him during the IPL 2025 auction. This is the third big move made by RR during the retention deadline day when they traded Sanju Samson to CSK for Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran.
– The end
