The Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises have released their retention list ahead of the IPL 2026 auction. Let’s take a look at the GT Retention List IPL 2026 and the GT Released Players 2026 here.
The IPL 2022 champions have decided to continue with their core squad after a dominating display in the IPL 2025. The team has already built up a well-balanced squad in their four-year stint in the cash-rich league so far. Notably, GT had claimed the title in their maiden edition of the tournament in 2022. The franchise has failed only once to qualify for the playoffs, following skipper Hardik Pandya’s sudden move to rejoin his former franchise, Mumbai Indians.
However, after an eighth-place finish in the IPL 2024, the team had registered a strong comeback last season under Shubman Gill’s leadership. Let’s check out the GT retention list IPL 2026 and Gujarat Titans Released Players 2026 list here.
