Gujarat Titans have made the best use of the mega auction for the 18th season of the IPL by grabbing some of the best players. Under captain Hardik Pandya, GT's performance was just unbelievable. They won the finals in 2022 and went to the finals in 2023 only to lose against CSK.
The consistency with which they played was commendable. Then Hardik Pandya went to Mumbai Indians in the previous season and things changed drastically. Shubman Gill took over the captaincy and changed the team's faith. They didn't qualify for the playoffs.
Despite having a sloppy season, GT went on to retain five players before the mega auction started. The first player was Rashid Khan who was retained for INR 18 crores. The second player was skipper Shubman Gill for INR 16.5 crores, the third was Sai Sudarshan for INR 8.5 crores, the fourth player was Rahul Tewatia for INR 4 crores and the last player was Shah Rukh Khan for INR 4 crores.
Gujarat Titans' final squad update:
Gujarat Titans will be happy with their squad for the upcoming IPL 2025. They made a good deal in the auction as well Jos Buttler for INR 15.75 crore, Mohammed Siraj for INR 12.25 crore, Kagiso Rabada for INR 10.75 crore and Prasidh Krishna for INR 9.50 crore.
Washington Sundar was a steal deal for them as they grabbed him for INR 3.20 crore. There were other buys as well of uncapped players at a reasonable price. The squad is relatively filled in with young players except Jos Buttler which will become a tough task for captain Shubman Gill. On day 2 GT bought some exceptionally talented players including Gerald Coetzee, Sai Kishore and others. They also went for some experienced players like Ishant Sharma and Jayant Yadav.
