A major trade deal could be on the cards between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Gujarat Titans (GT) ahead of IPL 2027. According to reports, IPL 2025 Purple Cap winner Prasidh Krishna could leave Gujarat Titans and join Delhi Capitals before the next season. All-rounder Ashutosh Sharma is reportedly being considered as part of the potential deal.
Although discussions around the trade have gained attention, neither franchise has officially confirmed the development. If completed, this could become one of the biggest player transfers ahead of IPL 2027.
IPL 2027 Trade News: Delhi Capitals Eye Prasidh Krishna in Big Deal
According to a report by RevSportz, Delhi Capitals have approached Gujarat Titans regarding a possible trade for Indian fast bowler Prasidh Krishna.
The report also suggests that Delhi Capitals could offer batting all-rounder Ashutosh Sharma as part of the deal. The 28-year-old could be an important addition to Gujarat's middle order if the trade goes through.
Interestingly, this is not the first time Ashutosh Sharma has been linked with Gujarat Titans. A previous report by Cricbuzz claimed that Gujarat had contacted Delhi Capitals to discuss a possible move for the all-rounder. However, the deal did not progress at that time.
With changes in Delhi Capitals' management, the franchise could now be reconsidering its squad combination ahead of IPL 2027.
Why Gujarat Titans Could Trade Prasidh Krishna for Ashutosh Sharma
Gujarat Titans already have several quality fast-bowling options, including Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, Ishant Sharma, Gurnoor Brar and Arshad Khan.
With a strong bowling unit available, Gujarat could look to improve its batting depth before IPL 2027. Ashutosh Sharma's aggressive batting style and ability to contribute as an all-rounder could make him a valuable option for the franchise.
A potential exchange involving Prasidh Krishna and Ashutosh Sharma could help both teams address their squad requirements.

- T Natarajan Joins Sunrisers Hyderabad: Left-arm fast bowler T Natarajan has reportedly left Delhi Capitals to return to Sunrisers Hyderabad. Zeeshan Ansari has joined Delhi Capitals as part of this trade.
If Delhi Capitals manage to sign Prasidh Krishna, their bowling attack could receive another major boost.

His biggest achievement came in IPL 2025, when he picked up 25 wickets and won the Purple Cap as the season's leading wicket-taker.
In IPL 2026, Krishna continued to contribute with the ball, taking 16 wickets in 12 matches for Gujarat Titans.
