Gujarat Titans pacer Prasidh Krishna is reportedly set to move to Delhi Capitals ahead of IPL 2027, with trade discussions between the two franchises said to be underway. The development comes with the IPL trade and retention deadline falling on November 17, 2026, leaving both sides a narrow window to finalise any deal.
Reports from Revsportz, indicate that the Titans are open to trading Krishna to the Capitals. Interestingly, the proposed arrangement could see Ashutosh Sharma move from Delhi Capitals to Gujarat Titans as part of the exchange. As of November 8, 2026, neither franchise had issued an official confirmation of the trade.
Prasidh was picked up by Gujarat Titans at the 2025 IPL mega auction for ₹9.5 crore, while Ashutosh was acquired by Delhi Capitals at the same auction for ₹3.80 crore. Additionally, the Capitals and the Titans have both remained active in the trade window as franchises look to reshape their squads before the deadline.
How has Prasidh Krishna performed across his two seasons with Gujarat Titans?
Krishna delivered a strong return across his two seasons with the Titans in 2025 and 2026, collecting 41 wickets from 27 matches combined. His 2025 campaign was particularly impressive, with the pacer claiming 25 wickets at an average of 19.52, a performance that earned him the Purple Cap for that edition of the tournament.
In IPL 2026, Krishna took 16 wickets from 12 matches, though his average rose to 25.44 and his economy rate stood at 10.44 across those appearances. Despite the slightly leaner numbers in 2026, his overall contribution across both seasons underlined his value as a frontline pace option for the Titans.
What is Prasidh Krishna’s broader IPL career history before this reported move?
Krishna made his IPL debut for Kolkata Knight Riders in 2018 and went on to represent the franchise for four seasons before joining Rajasthan Royals in 2022. He missed the 2023 and 2024 editions of the tournament before returning with Gujarat Titans in 2025.
Across 78 IPL matches in his career, Krishna has picked up 90 wickets at an average of 28.86, with an economy rate under 9. Moreover, his Purple Cap win in 2025 stands as one of the notable individual honours of his T20 career, recalling a journey that began with Kolkata Knight Riders back in 2018.
