Ashutosh Sharma has emerged as a potential trade candidate ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2027 season, with Gujarat Titans reportedly interested in acquiring the Delhi Capitals batter.

According to reports by Cricbuzz and CricTracker, Gujarat Titans have previously approached Delhi Capitals regarding a possible deal for the 28-year-old. However, the discussions have not resulted in a confirmed agreement, and Delhi are understood to be considering their options ahead of the player retention deadline.

Gujarat are believed to be looking for a dependable middle-order finisher who can accelerate the scoring during the closing overs. Ashutosh's ability to score quickly and deliver impactful contributions makes him an attractive option for the franchise.

The right-handed batter was signed by Delhi Capitals for ₹3.8 crore at the IPL 2025 mega auction. During the 2026 season, he scored 171 runs in eight matches at a strike rate of more than 180, highlighting his potential as a powerful lower-middle-order batter.

Delhi Capitals could reportedly consider a player exchange involving a fast bowler as part of any potential agreement. Gujarat Titans have several pace-bowling options, which could make a swap worth exploring. Lucknow Super Giants have also been mentioned as a possible interested franchise, although no agreement involving them has been established.

Another interesting aspect is Ashutosh's domestic cricket career. He switched his domestic allegiance from Madhya Pradesh to Gujarat earlier in 2026, adding another connection to the Titans' reported interest.

The IPL 2027 retention deadline is November 17, and franchises are expected to finalise their squad decisions before then. With the trade window attracting increasing attention, Ashutosh's future at Delhi Capitals remains one to watch.

However, no official trade involving Ashutosh Sharma has been announced by Delhi Capitals, Gujarat Titans or the IPL. Any potential move remains subject to negotiations and confirmation from the franchises.
