However, he also understood that every franchise has its own team balance and they traded him accordingly. He added that they are very happy with Mumbai Indians as his old captain and teammates like Jasprit Bumrah and Suryakumar Yadav are there.
Darshan also spoke about his excitement over Arshdeep donning the Mumbai Indians jersey in the IPL 2027 season. He said, "Just look at the fans' reactions and remarks.
" He acknowledged that while anything can happen in IPL with flat pitches, he is looking forward to this new partnership for his son.

The proposed deal attracted considerable attention because both players have been important figures for their respective franchises.
