Gujarat Titans At IPL 2026 Auction: All You Need To Know — GT Targets, GT Squad, Remaining Purse, Auction Picks & Strategy

The Indian Premier League 2022 champions once again had another impressive campaign in the last season of the cash-rich league. But after holding the top spot for almost the entire tournament, two consecutive defeats to finish off the league stage saw Gujarat Titans slip to third place.

This denied them the advantage of an extra opportunity that Qualifier 1 offers. Eventually, Shubman Gill and Co. bowed out of the T20 league after suffering a 20-run loss in the Eliminator, facing the five-time winners, Mumbai Indians (MI).

However, the Titans have a strong chance to replicate a similar dominance in the upcoming IPL 2026. They have retained 20 players ahead of the auction and will enter the bidding hall with the third-lowest remaining purse.
