CHENNAI: Former India 'keeper and Tamil Nadu mainstay Dinesh Karthik has joined the Mumbai Indians from Kings XI Punjab in the first significant transfer before IPL 5.
He was bought by Mumbai for an undisclosed sum but according to sources, "it was easily the highest sum paid to buy a domestic player from another team in the history of the IPL". MI swapped former TN all-rounder Rajagopal Sathish with Karthik.
"It's a big opportunity for me and I'm looking forward to have a great time with the Mumbai Indians in the forthcoming season," Karthik told TOI on Thursday.
Though Karthik didn't want to go into the financial details of the deal, it was learnt that the right-hander was offered somewhere between Rs 11-13 crore.
"MI are a very good side and I'll be fortunate if I can add value to the team," Karthik added.
