BREAKING: Former Purple Cap Winner with RCB Set to Be Traded to Gujarat Titans Before IPL 2027 Auction

The all-cash deal would make Gujarat Titans Harshal Patel’s fifth IPL team and reduce their auction purse by Rs 4 crore, officials said.

  • Gujarat Titans have agreed to acquire experienced fast bowler Harshal Patel from Sunrisers Hyderabad in an all-cash trade worth Rs 4 crore ahead of the IPL 2027 season.
  • Ahmedabad-Born Patel, who turns 36 later this month, returns to his home-state side while Sunrisers seeks to free auction purse space before the November 17 retention deadline.
  • The veteran pacer previously played for Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Delhi Capitals, Punjab Kings, and Sunrisers, with standout seasons claiming 32 wickets in 2021 and 24 wickets in 2024.
  • Joining his fifth franchise, Patel bolsters GT's established pace group featuring Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, and Jason Holder.
  • GT previously bid up to Rs 10.5 crore for Patel in 2024 and 2025, and this acquisition fulfills the franchise's long-standing interest amid accelerating pre-auction reshuffling.
