Delhi Capitals may trade Ashutosh Sharma for a fast bowler

Delhi Capitals are reportedly considering trading finisher Ashutosh Sharma to acquire a fast bowler ahead of the IPL 2027 retention deadline on November 17. The move comes as the franchise faces uncertainty regarding the availability of Mitchell Starc.

Ashutosh Sharma, who was acquired by Delhi Capitals for Rs 3.8 crore, has drawn interest from teams like Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants. Both franchises are reportedly seeking to bolster their batting lineups with players capable of scoring quickly in the final overs. Gujarat Titans had previously approached Delhi Capitals for Sharma, though no deal was reached at the time.

With new management and a new head coach in place, Delhi Capitals may reconsider trade offers. Potential trading partners like Gujarat Titans or Lucknow Super Giants could offer pace options from their squads in exchange for Sharma's finishing capabilities.
