Gujarat Titans (GT), the IPL 2022 champions, had a quiet outing at the IPL 2026 mini-auction. The franchise made only five purchases and did not make many big changes to their squad. The most expensive buy for GT was West Indies all-rounder Jason Holder, whom they signed for ₹7 crore. England batter Tom Banton was their second-costliest pick at ₹2 crore.

GT also added a few budget players to improve squad depth. Indian fast bowler Ashok Sharma was bought for ₹90 lakh, while England pacer Luke Wood joined the team for ₹75 lakh. Young Indian player Prithviraj Yarra was purchased for INR 30 lakhs. In total, GT made minute but calculated moves.

During the last season, Gujarat Titans had a positive run and then lost momentum at the end. They lost the last league games and were beaten out by the Mumbai Indians in the Eliminator. Ahead of the auction, GT released several players, including Mahipal Lomror, Karim Janat, Gerald Coetzee, Dasun Shanaka, and Kulwant Khejroliya. Sherfane Rutherford was also traded to Mumbai Indians. Despite these changes, GT kept their main core intact.

Gujarat Titans entered the mini-auction with a purse of ₹12.90 crore. The team once again showed faith in their core players like captain Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, Washington Sundar, Rahul Tewatia, and Mohammed Siraj. Last season, GT depended heavily on their top order of Jos Buttler, Sudharsan, and Gill. However, their middle order struggled at times, which they will look to improve in IPL 2026.
