Gujarat Titans are a management that believes in stability. Considering that, they will try to secure as many players from their current squad as they can. Ahead of the IPL 2026 Auction, here’s a look at the likely GT Retention List:
The Titans have some outstanding T20 stars in their squad. Here are potential names they are likely to retain:

Gujarat Titans will part ways with a few underperformers from the previous season. Here’s the expected GT Released Players List:
These are the players who struggled in the previous season or could not fit into the side:
Here’s how the GT squad might look after retentions and releases:
Category: Retained
Shubman Gill, Jos Buttler, Sai Sudharsan, Rashid Khan, Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj, Kagiso Rabada, R Sai Kishore, Sherfane Rutherford, Shahrukh Khan, Washington Sundar, Rahul Tewatia, Arshad Khan, Anuj Rawat, and Gurnoor Brar.
Category: Released
Glenn Phillips, Gerald Coetzee, Ishant Sharma, Karim Janat, Mahipal Lomror, Jayant Yadav, Kulwant Khejroliya, Manav Suthar, and Kumar Kushagra.
Captaincy Status
Shubman Gill will continue to lead the team.
Gujarat Titans will look to improve their bowling attack and the lower middle order. Their likely target:
Marco Jansen (Trade) – GT might try to acquire Marco Jansen via a trade from Punjab Kings. The left-arm pace all-rounder can fit into their line-up well and bring variety to the bowling attack.
Cameron Green (Auction) – The Titans will have to release a high-priced player if they want to pursue Cameron Green. A pace all-rounder who can play the role of a finisher, Green could be a great fit at GT.
Spencer Johnson (Auction) – The Aussie was part of the GT franchise in the past. They could try to bring him back into the fold, and he might not be expensive.
Likely names include Shubman Gill, Jos Buttler, Sai Sudharsan, Rashid Khan, Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj, Kagiso Rabada, and R Sai Kishore.
Possible releases include Glenn Phillips, Gerald Coetzee, Ishant Sharma, and Karim Janat.
Address the lower middle-order and bowling woes.
