The two-time Purple Cap winner will move from Sunrisers Hyderabad ahead of the 2027 IPL season.
Seam bowler Harshal Patel is expected to move from Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) to Gujarat Titans (GT) in an all-cash deal for Rs 4 crore, according to reports from The Economic Times and ESPNcricinfo.
The transaction, which will reduce GT's auction purse by Rs 4 crore, represents half of the Rs 8 crore SRH paid to acquire the pacer during the 2025 mega auction.
The Ahmedabad-born cricketer will join a GT pace attack that includes Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, and Jason Holder.
Patel, who turns 36 later this month, had a productive 2025 season with SRH, taking 16 wickets in 13 matches. However, he featured in only five matches during the 2026 season without taking a wicket as the franchise opted for uncapped pacers Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain.
A two-time Purple Cap winner, Patel claimed 32 wickets for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2021 and 24 for Punjab Kings in 2024.
The trade occurs as franchises prepare for the November 17 retention deadline. SRH has already been active in the market, acquiring T Natarajan from Delhi Capitals and fast bowlers Khaleel Ahmed and Nathan Ellis via a trade with Chennai Super Kings.
