Earlier this year, the Gujarat Titans (GT) finished in the top four and advanced to the playoffs, continuing their strong record in the Indian Premier League (IPL). However, they fell short of reaching the final and will be keen to address those shortcomings in the upcoming season.
With most of their players retained prior of the mini-auction, Gujarat Titans have a solid core to build around. That said, a few areas still need fine-tuning, which will be the franchise’s focus at the IPL 2026 mini-auction scheduled for December 16 in Abu Dhabi.
The retention of 20 players reflects the franchise’s faith in a stable, title-winning core. Armed with a purse of Rs 12.90 crore. The team can now add five more players – four from overseas and one from India – bringing their squad to the maximum size of 25.
The team has retained a strong core of players ahead of the upcoming 2026 IPL season.
