IPL 2026: All players bought by GT in auction
GT bought 5 players in the auction.
The IPL 2026 auction brought several surprises for the fans. Cameron Green went on to become the most expensive overseas player; Kolkata Knight Riders bought him for a whopping INR 25.20 crore.
The 2022 winner, Gujarat Titans, entered the IPL 2026 auction with the third-lowest purse value of INR 12.90. They retained 20 players from the last season and almost had all the bases covered. But despite having a small purse, they ended up making some useful signings.
The Titans would be happy that they were successful in executing their auction plans. Overall, they fought for nine different players. The first player who made GT raise their paddle was Venkatesh Iyer.
But they couldn’t have him, as he went to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru for a price of INR 7 crore. At the end of the IPL 2026 auction, Gujarat signed five players, taking their total to a 25-member squad.
