Harshal Patel to Join Gujarat Titans in Rs 4 Crore Trade Ahead of IPL 2027
Harshal Patel, two-time IPL Purple Cap winner, is set to move from Sunrisers Hyderabad to Gujarat Titans in a Rs 4 crore all-cash trade ahead of the IPL 2027 season. This transfer will mark his fifth IPL franchise since debuting in 2012. Patel had a strong 2025 season with SRH but saw reduced playtime in 2026. The move also represents a homecoming for the Ahmedabad-born pacer, who is expected to strengthen Gujarat Titans' pace attack.
