GT Want DC’s Powerhitter: Who Will They Sacrifice?

Gujarat Titans Target Ashutosh Sharma for IPL 2027

Gujarat Titans are looking to add an finisher to their squad ahead of IPL 2027, and Ashutosh Sharma is reportedly on their radar.

The Shubman Gill led franchise contacted Delhi Capitals a few months ago to discuss a possible trade for the 28 year old Ashutosh Sharma.

GT have struggled to get regular runs from their lower middle order, and Ashutosh’s hitting ability could help them solve this problem.

Delhi Capitals bought Ashutosh for Rs 3.8 crore at the IPL 2025 mega auction. He has scored 564 runs in 32 IPL matches at a strike rate of 168.86.

According to reports, Gujarat Titans contacted Delhi Capitals about a possible trade a few months ago, but the franchise did not give an immediate response.

Delhi could now reconsider the offer after bringing in a new support staff led by Sourav Ganguly. Lucknow Super Giants are also reportedly interested in Ashutosh. Both GT and LSG have fast bowlers they could offer Delhi as part of a trade.

GT’s interest in Ashutosh comes after their middle order failed to provide enough runs in IPL 2026. Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler scored most of the runs at the top, but the team struggled when they failed.

Shahrukh Khan scored just 43 runs in nine matches, while Rahul Tewatia managed 190 runs in 16 matches. GT had also reportedly approached another franchise for a finisher and were ready to include fast bowler Ashok Sharma in the deal. Ashok had bowled the fastest delivery of IPL 2026 at 154.2 kmph.

Ashutosh could give Gujarat the hitting option they have been looking for in the lower middle order.

Delhi Capitals will have to decide whether they want to release him and which fast bowler they would prefer in return.

With IPL 2027 preparations already underway, the trade could become an important decision for both franchises if discussions move forward.
