Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans hold talks over potential Prasidh Krishna and Ashutosh Sharma trades

Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans were reported to be in discussions on November 9, 2026 about possible trades involving pacer Prasidh Krishna and batter Ashutosh Sharma ahead of the IPL 2027 season, with no official confirmation from either franchise.

Delhi are seeking another Indian fast bowler before the November 17 retention deadline after trading T Natarajan to Sunrisers Hyderabad; the franchise is also uncertain about Mitchell Starc’s availability for the next season, which has increased the urgency to reinforce their pace resources. Reports by Rohit Juglan of RevSportz named Prasidh as a player under discussion, while Cricbuzz reported that Gujarat Titans had approached Delhi a few months ago about a potential deal for Ashutosh Sharma. Neither team has published details of any agreement to date.

According to the RevSportz report, Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals have held talks specifically about a move for Prasidh Krishna; those conversations are understood to be ongoing and the particulars of any trade remain unclear. The coverage did not include an official statement from either franchise confirming terms, timing, or whether player consent had been sought.

Delhi’s interest in Prasidh is framed by the club’s need for an additional Indian seamer with international experience should Mitchell Starc be unavailable; Prasidh is being considered as one option to fill that gap. The article noted Delhi’s prior trade of T Natarajan to Sunrisers Hyderabad and linked that move to the search for fresh pace options ahead of the retention cutoff.

From Gujarat’s perspective, Prasidh has been described as a key component of their bowling attack who could be permitted to leave if a suitable offer arrives. The report listed Gujarat’s existing fast-bowling resources as Mohammed Siraj, Kagiso Rabada, Ishant Sharma, Arshad Khan and Gurnoor Brar, suggesting depth that could factor into any decision to trade Prasidh.

Ashutosh Sharma is also the subject of reported interest; Cricbuzz said Gujarat had approached Delhi months earlier about the right-handed batter but received no response at the time, and the new Delhi management might revisit that dialogue. The article recorded that Delhi purchased Ashutosh for INR 3.80 crore at the IPL 2025 mega auction and that he scored 171 runs in eight matches last season at a strike rate of over 180, with Gujarat reportedly seeking to bolster their finishing options.

Both trade discussions remain in progress and no deal has been announced by either franchise; further information may emerge before the November 17 retention deadline.
