Parth Jindal has put an end to all the trade rumours involving Axar Patel and Chennai Super Kings with an X post. The Delhi Capitals co-owner reposted a video of the Delhi Capitals all-rounder, claiming that he can’t wait to see him and that they have unfinished business. There have been heavy rumours regarding a possible trade between Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings.
The five-time IPL champions were eyeing a move to rope in Axar Patel during the trade window, but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be in the plans of the Delhi side.
“Ax bhaii, hamara Ax bhai – can’t wait to see you in the red and blue – we have unfinished business @DelhiCapitals,” wrote Parth Jindal on X. CSK was pursuing a trade in which they would offer Dewald Brevis in return for Axar Patel.
According to the dynamics of both teams, both players could solve the shortcomings they had in the previous season. However, Parth Jindal remains firm in keeping the star Indian all-rounder, and Delhi doesn’t seem to be interested in the trade.
Parth Jindal seemingly rules out Axar Patel’s departure
Axar Patel captained the Delhi Capitals in the past two IPL campaigns, and he has been a terrific player for the side. In the 2026 IPL season, the Delhi Capitals skipper played 14 matches and scored 173 runs at an average of 32.00.
With the ball, he was even more impressive as he picked up 11 wickets at an economy rate of 8.18. They did miss the knockout stages in consecutive seasons, but the impact of the Indian all-rounder cannot be understated in the side. Axar Patel’s excellence with the bat and ball would be difficult for any franchise to find in the market, and it would have been a steal deal for Chennai Super Kings.
Dewald Brevis has been one of the best overseas young talents in the IPL over the years, and he would have been a tempting option for Delhi Capitals. The Protasas batter has been one of the most reliable batters of the Chennai side, and it came as a surprise to the fans.
However, he wasn’t at his best in the IPL 2026 season, as he scored just 151 runs from 11 innings. The form dip of the star batter might have encouraged CSK to move on from him. Delhi Capitals did have minor tweaks in their middle order, and Dewald Brevis could have been the solution to their issues.
As it stands, Axar Patel would stay at Delhi Capitals for the IPL 2027 season, and Parth Jindal would make sure that he isn’t involved in any trade. The news would come as a massive disappointment to the CSK fans, as he would have been a solid option, maybe even a captaincy option. It would be interesting to see how the Men in Yellow would cope with their latest transfer blow.
