The Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans are in talks over a possible swap. Gujarat pacer Prasidh Krishna could move to Delhi. Delhi wants another Indian fast bowler before the November 17 retention deadline. The two teams are discussing the move, but no details are clear yet. Neither side has made an official announcement.
Delhi have already sent T Natarajan to Sunrisers Hyderabad. They are also unsure whether Mitchell Starc will be available next season. That has made their need for another fast bowler stronger. Prasidh is one option for them. Ashutosh Sharma is also part of the discussions between the two teams. Gujarat approached Delhi about Ashutosh a few months ago. Delhi did not respond at the time. But Delhi have a new management now, so they could look at the offer again.
Prasidh has been an important part of Gujarat’s bowling attack. Gujarat could let him go if they get a good offer. They already have many fast bowlers. Their group includes Mohammed Siraj, Kagiso Rabada, Ishant Sharma, Arshad Khan, and Gurnoor Brar. Delhi would gain an Indian fast bowler with international experience. Prasidh would also give them another choice if Starc is not available.
Gujarat wants to improve their batting, especially their finishing. Ashutosh could fit that role well. He has done well in the IPL. Delhi bought him for INR 3.80 crore at the 2025 mega auction. Last season he scored 171 runs in eight matches. His strike rate was over 180. Both trade talks are still going on. No deal has been confirmed yet. More details may come before the November 17 deadline.
Prasidh Krishna IPL Stats: The Numbers Behind Delhi Capitals’ Massive Trade Interest
Prasidh Krishna has played two IPL seasons for Gujarat Titans, and the numbers show a clear difference between them.
In 2025, he bowled in 15 innings and sent down 354 balls. He gave away 488 runs and took 25 wickets. His best figures were 4 for 41 against Delhi Capitals. His average was 19.52, his economy rate was 8.27 and his strike rate was 14.16. He had one three-wicket haul and no five-wicket hauls. With the bat, he played 15 matches and did not get a chance to score. He finished with 0 runs and an average of 0.00.
In 2026, Prasidh bowled in 12 innings and sent down 234 balls. He conceded 407 runs and took 16 wickets. His best figures were 4 for 28 against Lucknow Super Giants. His average was 25.44, his economy rate was 10.44, and his strike rate was 14.63. He had one three-wicket haul and no five-wicket hauls. With the bat, he played 12 matches and was not out once. He scored 6 runs, with a highest score of 6 not out against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
So his 2025 season was stronger. He took more wickets, had a better average, and had a much better economy rate. In 2026, his economy rate jumped above 10, and his average went past 25. He still took wickets, but he conceded more runs per over. That dip in form may be one reason Gujarat are open to trading him. Delhi Capitals, who need an Indian fast bowler, could see him as a good option if they believe he can help them.
