The race for the IPL 2025 title is heating up, with teams that have never won the championship before emerging as strong contenders. Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals, and Royal Challengers Bangalore have all been impressive so far.
In a recent high-scoring match, RCB beat Mumbai Indians by 12 runs. Now, rumors are circulating about a potential trade between the two teams. Some say RCB might swap Devdutt Padikkal for Tilak Verma.
On social media, people claim that RCB is considering trading Padikkal for Verma due to the latter’s poor performance against the Lucknow Super Giants. Apparently, Mumbai’s management and Hardik Pandya are not happy with Verma’s inability to finish matches.
What the trade could mean
If the trade happens, Padikkal could strengthen Mumbai’s batting lineup. Although he’s only scored 78 runs in four matches this season, he’s been consistent in previous years. Verma, on the other hand, has scored 151 runs in five matches, including a half-century.
This isn’t the first time IPL teams have made big trades. Before the 2024 season, Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans swapped players. Mumbai sent Cameron Green to Gujarat to bring back Hardik Pandya.
