GT have not made any trades ahead of the mini auction.
The Gujarat Titans finished as runners-up for the second time in the IPL after they lost to Royal Challengers Bengaluru in last season’s final. They have also solidified their status as one of the most consistent teams under Shubman Gill’s captaincy.
They won the title in their maiden season in 2022. However, since then, they have reached the final twice and lost both times. Gujarat won nine out of the 14 games they played last season and were tied on points with RCB and SRH.
They later faced Bengaluru in Qualifier 1 and lost by 92 runs. However, the Titans secured a spot in the final after winning over Rajasthan. Facing RCB for the fourth time in one season, GT also lost the summit clash by five wickets, revealing that the side often fails to perform with full concentration in high-stakes games.
Hence, they need to settle their squad in the IPL 2027 auction. Before that, let’s take a look at the players GT could retain and release.
Gujarat Titans need to improve their middle order

Gujarat Titans’ opening pair, captain Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan, were the highest-scoring opening duo last season. Gill scored 732 runs in 16 innings, while Sai Sudharsan scored 722 in 17 matches.
Jos Buttler gave a solid performance, scoring 500+ runs. Washington Sundar also contributed well, scoring 336 runs. However, the middle and lower-order players failed to capitalise and provide support when needed.
Rahul Tewatia scored 190 runs in 16 matches, and Shahrukh Khan was benched after nine games. The Titans have backed both, but they haven’t achieved the desired results.
Therefore, they might make some changes to their batting unit in the upcoming auction, as this instability also puts pressure on Rashid Khan, who often bats at No. 7.
