Delhi Capitals are reportedly negotiating a trade that would see all‑rounder Axar Patel exchanged for a fast bowler, with Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants expressing interest.
Delhi Capitals are said to be in active trade discussions aimed at swapping Indian all‑rounder Axar Patel, who has often been used as a finisher, for a specialist pace bowler. Sources close to the franchise indicate that the team is exploring options to strengthen its fast‑bowling department ahead of the next IPL season.
Outlook India reports that both Gujarat Titans (GT) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have shown preliminary interest in acquiring Patel, while the Capitals are looking for a quality pacer in return. The negotiations are reportedly at an early stage, with no final agreement reached yet.
If the deal materialises, it could reshape the composition of both sides, giving Delhi a deeper seam attack and providing GT or LSG with a versatile middle‑order option. The franchise’s management has not disclosed any financial details or timelines for the potential swap.
