Sunrisers Hyderabad trade veteran pacer Harshal Patel to Gujarat Titans for IPL 2027

Sunrisers Hyderabad have finalized an all-cash trade deal to send seam bowler <b>Harshal Patel</b> to the Gujarat Titans ahead of the 2027 IPL season. The franchise will receive Rs 4 crore for the transfer, which represents half of the amount paid during the 2025 mega auction. Harshal, a two-time Purple Cap winner, struggled for playing time during the 2026 season, appearing in only five matches. The 35-year-old pacer, who hails from Ahmedabad, is expected to bolster the Gujarat Titans' bowling lineup alongside international stars like Kagiso Rabada and Mohammed Siraj. This move marks a return to his home state for the experienced cricketer.
