The Gujarat Titans (GT) are recognised for their strategic auction technique. Despite a good league stage performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, where they placed third and advanced to the Eliminator. But they got knocked out, which revealed a few critical structural flaws. GT has a relatively steady group, with 20 players that form a strong core.
However, strategic releases and trades of Gerald Coetzee and Sherfane Rutherford leave them with a nominal budget of INR 12.90 crore and only five positions to fill (four overseas). Their target audience must be high-impact role specialists. That being said, here are the top three players that the Gujarat Titans should look for in the forthcoming IPL 2026 Mini Auction.
Jason Holder is a key objective to meet the squad's need for a genuine fast-medium bowling all-rounder. Despite his hefty starting price, Holder is an excellent asset: a true fast-medium bowler who can operate in the middle overs and deliver useful, right-arm pace in the death.
His ability to strike the long ball with the bat serves as strong lower-middle-order insurance alongside Rahul Tewatia and Shahrukh Khan, which GT lacks. Holder's IPL stats include 26 matches in which he scored 189 runs and took 35 wickets, establishing him as a solid pace-allrounder.
