Delhi Capitals (DC) all-rounder Axar Patel has been in the news for quite some time now. The left-hander has been linked with trade deals with Chennai Super Kings (CSK), possibly emerging as a front-runner.

There were reports claiming that Axar Patel is all set to get traded to Chennai Super Kings and, in return, Delhi Capitals would get Dewald Brevis. Axar Patel CSK IPL trade rumours took more headlines when during the practice session ahead of the NZ vs IND 3rd ODI, Kuldeep Yadav was teasing the India all-rounder.

When Axar Patel mocked Arshdeep Singh with “Duniya hila denge”, Kuldeep Yadav was quick to pass a “Vanakkam” remark to Axar, which caught the attention of many. Not only that, but Axar also posted a picture with CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad with a yellow heart as a caption. This raised the speculations of DC CSK IPL trade even more.

With all these developments happening, Axar Patel was almost speculated to move to CSK, which is one of the best teams in IPL. However, Delhi Capitals owner Parth Jindal has quashed off all the rumours and come up with positive news for DC fans.

As per senior journalist Vikrant Gupta of Sports Tak, Parth Jindal has confirmed that Axar Patel is not going anywhere and will be with the team next IPL as well. He also stated that Ashutosh Sharma will also be staying with the side.

Will Axar Patel Remain DC Captain in IPL 2027?

The operations of Delhi Capitals will be handled by the JSW group for the next few years now, and it will be up to the owner Parth Jindal and team management to see who they will name as captain for next season.

Patel is currently part of the Indian squad for the ODI series against New Zealand. The all-rounder has looked decent with the ball, chipping in with wickets at crucial junctures even on the pace-friendly pitches.

With Axar confirmed to stay at Delhi Capitals now, this will be a big positive for the side as he has been the backbone of the side and is ranked amongst the best all-rounders in IPL. He will be hoping to carry on his good form and help DC end their title drought in IPL 2027.
