Reliance Industries owned Mumbai Indians, led by Sachin Tendulkar, have swapped Karnataka Ranji Trophy captain Robin Uthappa with left-arm pace spearhead Zaheer Khan, who represented Vijay Mallya owned Bangalore Royal Challengers in the inaugural edition of the Indian Premier League last year, at no cost to either franchise.The Mumbai Indians had earlier swapped their player Ashish Nehra with Delhi Daredevils batsman Shikhar Dhawan.
The move was on the cards with the Bangalore outfit showing keen interest in taking the flamboyant Uthappa for in-form bowler Zaheer, who played a crucial role in Mumbai outclassing Uttar Pradesh in the Ranji Trophy final at Hyderabad recently. Speculations are also ripe that Utappa may captain the RC Bangalore team after their dismal performance in the last years edition in place of Rahul Dravid.
