IPL 2022 champions Gujarat Titans have retained 20 players ahead of the IPL 2026 mini auction. The Ahmedabad-based franchise have ₹12.9 crore available in their purse and a maximum of five slots to fill, with four of them being overseas slots.
Gujarat Titans qualified for the playoffs last season, where they lost to the Mumbai Indians in the Eliminator match. Although the team did not win the trophy, the management has retained the squad's core group of players.
Shubman Gill will continue to be the face of the franchise. Other big names like Jos Buttler, Sai Sudharsan, Rahul Tewatia, Washington Sundar, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Kagiso Rabada and Rashid Khan have been retained by the Gujarat Titans.
GT have also retained New Zealand all-rounder Glenn Phillips in their squad, but they have let go of their Sri Lankan all-rounder Dasun Shanaka alongside Afghanistan all-rounder Karim Janat. A surprising name present on the list of players released by the Titans is of South African pacer Gerald Coetzee.
The Titans have also released uncapped players Kulwant Khejroliya and Mahipal Lomror. On that note, here is the full list of players retained by GT for IPL 2026 -

With ₹12.9 crore available in the purse, Gujarat Titans should look to sign a couple of big-hitters for their middle-order. GT traded Sherfane Rutherford to the Mumbai Indians. Perhaps, they can bring in an experienced name like David Miller, Glenn Maxwell or Andre Russell to bolster their finishing department.
