Building a successful Indian Premier League squad often means making difficult decisions about retention and release. While some changes help franchises evolve, others become expensive mistakes when former players continue to deliver elsewhere. Since joining the league, the Gujarat Titans have enjoyed immediate success, but even a young franchise has had a few exits that did not work in their favour.

However, a handful of released players later proved their worth for rival teams or remained elite performers in the league. On that note, here are the top three worst releases by the Gujarat Titans in IPL history.

1. Noor Ahmad

Who is Noor Ahmad, the Afghan spinner who took 3 wickets against Mumbai  Indians in IPL

Noor Ahmad added variety and mystery to the Gujarat Titans’ spin department as an exciting young left-arm wrist-spinner. Though still early in his career, he showed immense potential and the ability to trouble quality batters.

Releasing a young overseas spinner with such upside carried obvious risk, especially given how rare that skill set is in T20 cricket. With his noteworthy contributions for the Chennai Super Kings, his move elsewhere only increased the sense that GT may have let go of a future star too soon.
