Chennai Super Kings sparked speculation on social media after posting a photograph of captain Ruturaj Gaikwad alongside Delhi Capitals all-rounder Axar Patel, accompanied by the caption "Axar turns Yellow." The post fuelled rumours of a potential trade ahead of the next IPL season.
The image, shared on the franchise's official channels, showed the two players smiling together, leading fans to speculate whether Axar Patel could be moving to the five-time champions. Neither the player nor the franchises have confirmed any transfer discussions.
Axar Patel has been a key figure for Delhi Capitals since 2019, while Gaikwad was appointed CSK captain in 2024. The IPL trade window typically opens after the season concludes, but no official announcement has been made.
