The GT squad 2027 is the 2026 runners up, mostly unchanged and almost out of money. Gujarat Titans won nine league games, reached their third final in five seasons and lost it to Bengaluru by five wickets in Ahmedabad on 31 May. They have made no trades since.
That stability is both the strength and the problem. Gujarat have just Rs 1.95 crore left in the purse, one of the smallest in the league, so any change in Goa depends on who they release on 17 November. This page has all 25 players with their fees, which add up exactly to the purse, a cost per wicket table for the best attack in the league, the release maths, the likely XI, and how to get tickets at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

GT squad 2027, full player list with prices
These are the 25 players under contract with Gujarat on 11 November 2026. Gujarat have not made a trade in this window, so this is the squad that reached the 2026 final. Overseas players are marked (OS).
| Player | Role | How signed | Fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rashid Khan (OS) | Leg spinner | Retained 2025 | Rs 18 crore |
| Shubman Gill | Opening batter, captain | Retained 2025 | Rs 16.50 crore |
| Jos Buttler (OS) | Wicketkeeper batter | Auction 2025 | Rs 15.75 crore |
| Mohammed Siraj | Fast bowler | Auction 2025 | Rs 12.25 crore |
| Kagiso Rabada (OS) | Fast bowler | Auction 2025 | Rs 10.75 crore |
| Prasidh Krishna | Fast bowler | Auction 2025 | Rs 9.50 crore |
| Sai Sudharsan | Top order batter | Retained 2025 | Rs 8.50 crore |
| Jason Holder (OS) | Fast bowling all rounder | Auction 2026 | Rs 7 crore |
| Rahul Tewatia | Batting all rounder | Retained 2025 | Rs 4 crore |
| Shahrukh Khan | Batter | Retained 2025 | Rs 4 crore |
| Washington Sundar | Spin all rounder | Auction 2025 | Rs 3.20 crore |
| Sai Kishore | Left arm spinner | Auction 2025 | Rs 2 crore |

| Tom Banton (OS) | Wicketkeeper batter | Auction 2026 | Rs 2 crore |
| Arshad Khan | Fast bowling all rounder | Auction 2025 | Rs 1.30 crore |
| Gurnoor Brar | Fast bowler | Auction 2025 | Rs 1.30 crore |
| Ashok Sharma | Fast bowler | Auction 2026 | Rs 90 lakh |
| Ishant Sharma | Fast bowler | Auction 2025 | Rs 75 lakh |
| Jayant Yadav | Spin all rounder | Auction 2025 | Rs 75 lakh |
| Luke Wood (OS) | Fast bowler | Auction 2026 | Rs 75 lakh |
| Kumar Kushagra | Wicketkeeper batter | Auction 2025 | Rs 65 lakh |
| Anuj Rawat | Wicketkeeper batter | Auction 2025 | Rs 30 lakh |
| Nishant Sindhu | All rounder | Auction 2025 | Rs 30 lakh |
| Manav Suthar | Left arm spinner | Auction 2025 | Rs 30 lakh |
| Prithvi Raj Yarra | Fast bowler | Auction 2026 | Rs 30 lakh |
Gujarat’s numbers add up exactly. The 25 fees come to Rs 123.05 crore, which matches what the IPL reported Gujarat had spent after the 2026 auction and leaves Rs 1.95 crore.
The injury replacements from 2026
Gujarat made two replacement signings last season. Tom Banton broke a finger and was replaced by South African keeper Connor Esterhuizen for Rs 75 lakh. Prithvi Raj Yarra was injured and Kulwant Khejroliya came in for Rs 30 lakh. Banton and Yarra are both still under contract, which is why they appear in the squad list above. Whether either replacement stays is part of the retention decision. Esterhuizen would fill Gujarat’s one free overseas slot if they kept him.
GT cost per wicket, the best attack in the league
Gujarat’s five main bowlers took 102 wickets between them in 2026, and Kagiso Rabada won the Purple Cap with 29. Divide each bowler’s fee by his wickets and you see who gave the best value.
| Bowler | Fee | 2026 wickets | Cost per wicket |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kagiso Rabada | Rs 10.75 crore | 29 | About Rs 37 lakh |
| Jason Holder | Rs 7 crore | 17 | About Rs 41 lakh |
| Prasidh Krishna | Rs 9.50 crore | 16 | About Rs 59 lakh |
| Mohammed Siraj | Rs 12.25 crore | 19 | About Rs 64 lakh |
| Rashid Khan | Rs 18 crore | 21 | About Rs 86 lakh |
Rabada, bought for Rs 10.75 crore at the 2025 mega auction, was one of the best value bowlers in the whole IPL. Holder, a Rs 7 crore buy at the 2026 auction, was nearly as good. Rashid sits at the bottom of this table, but that is partly the price of being the highest paid player in the squad, and he was still second in Gujarat’s wicket list. Siraj also led the league in dot balls.
The GT release maths
With Rs 1.95 crore in the bank, Gujarat cannot buy a single proven player in Goa without letting people go. A preview from Cricket Addictor on 6 November named seven likely releases. Here is what they would free up.
| Possible release | Fee | Running total |
|---|---|---|
| Purse left from 2026 | Rs 1.95 crore | Rs 1.95 crore |
| Shahrukh Khan | Rs 4 crore | Rs 5.95 crore |
| Glenn Phillips (OS) | Rs 2 crore | Rs 7.95 crore |
| Tom Banton (OS) | Rs 2 crore | Rs 9.95 crore |
| Luke Wood (OS) | Rs 75 lakh | Rs 10.70 crore |
| Jayant Yadav | Rs 75 lakh | Rs 11.45 crore |
| Ishant Sharma | Rs 75 lakh | Rs 12.20 crore |
| Anuj Rawat | Rs 30 lakh | Rs 12.50 crore |
Even after seven releases, Gujarat would have about Rs 12.50 crore, less than several teams start with. It would, though, free four overseas slots and seven squad places, enough to buy one strong player and fill the rest cheaply.
The overseas plan
Gujarat have used the same four overseas players for most big games, Buttler, Rashid, Rabada and Holder. Phillips, Banton and Wood barely played, which is why all three appear on the predicted release list. Keeping a fifth overseas player who can bat in the middle order would make sense, because it gives Gujarat cover if Buttler or Holder is injured or rested. Phillips is the obvious candidate for that role on paper, but at Rs 2 crore for very little cricket, Gujarat may prefer to start again in Goa with a player who fits the gap at four or five. Whichever way they go, the decision on 17 November will shape the whole auction plan.
GT likely playing XI for 2027
This is the side that would start if the season began tomorrow. Four overseas players are used, and it is close to the team that played the final.
| No. | Player | Role |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Shubman Gill (c) | Opener |
| 2 | Sai Sudharsan | Opener |
| 3 | Jos Buttler (OS) | Keeper, top order |
| 4 | Washington Sundar | Spin all rounder |
| 5 | Shahrukh Khan | Middle order |
| 6 | Rahul Tewatia | Finisher |
| 7 | Jason Holder (OS) | All rounder |
| 8 | Rashid Khan (OS) | Leg spinner |
| 9 | Kagiso Rabada (OS) | Fast bowler |
| 10 | Mohammed Siraj | Fast bowler |
| 11 | Prasidh Krishna | Fast bowler |
| Impact | Sai Kishore or Arshad Khan | Spinner or seam all rounder |
Sundar at four looks unusual, but it worked in 2026. He made 377 runs, the fourth most in the squad, and his unbeaten 50 off 37 balls was the only real fight in the final.
Where the GT squad is short
Gujarat’s top three made almost 2,000 runs between them in 2026. Below them, the runs dried up.
| Role | Players | Our rating |
|---|---|---|
| Top order | Gill, Sudharsan, Buttler | Best in the league |
| Middle order | Sundar, Shahrukh, Phillips | Thin |
| Finishing | Tewatia, Holder, Rashid | Ageing |
| Pace | Rabada, Siraj, Prasidh, Holder, Arshad, Gurnoor, Ashok | Deep and proven |
| Spin | Rashid, Sundar, Sai Kishore, Suthar, Jayant | Strong |
Gill made 732 runs, Sudharsan 722 and Buttler 526. Tewatia was fifth on the list with 190. When the top three failed, as they did in Qualifier 1 when Bengaluru made 254 and bowled Gujarat out for 162, there was little behind them. Shahrukh Khan has spoken about how tough his 2026 was. A proven Indian middle order batter is the one buy Gujarat really need.
Captaincy and coaching
Shubman Gill has led Gujarat since 2024, after Hardik Pandya went back to Mumbai, and took them from eighth in his first season to the final in his third. He also captains India in Tests and ODIs, so his workload will be managed, but there is no suggestion of a change. Expected
Ashish Nehra has been head coach since the franchise began in 2022, with Vikram Solanki as director of cricket. They have survived an ownership change and one bad season, and Gujarat have not announced any change to the staff for 2027.
How GT’s 2026 season went
Very well, until the last week. Gujarat finished second in the league with nine wins, five losses and 18 points, with a net run rate of 0.695. That put them into Qualifier 1, where Bengaluru made 254 for 5 and won by 92 runs.
Gujarat bounced back in Qualifier 2 at Mullanpur on 29 May. Rajasthan made 214 for 6, and Gill’s 104 took Gujarat to 219 for 3 with eight balls to spare. Two days later they played the final in Ahmedabad, their third game at a third venue in six days, after a storm delayed their flight home. Bengaluru’s seamers restricted them to 155 for 8, and Virat Kohli’s unbeaten 75 won it with 12 balls left.
| Most runs, 2026 | Runs | Most wickets, 2026 | Wickets |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shubman Gill | 732 | Kagiso Rabada | 29 |
| Sai Sudharsan | 722 | Rashid Khan | 21 |
| Jos Buttler | 526 | Mohammed Siraj | 19 |
| Washington Sundar | 377 | Jason Holder | 17 |
| Rahul Tewatia | 190 | Prasidh Krishna | 16 |
Buttler also became the first batter from outside the West Indies to hit 600 sixes in T20 cricket. Nishant Sindhu and Ashok Sharma made their IPL debuts.
GT through the years
Gujarat have been the most consistent new franchise in IPL history. They won the title in their first season and have reached three finals in five years.
| Season | Result | Captain |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | Champions, beat Rajasthan in the final | Hardik Pandya |
| 2023 | Runners up to Chennai | Hardik Pandya |
| 2024 | 8th | Shubman Gill |
| 2025 | 3rd, out in the Eliminator | Shubman Gill |
| 2026 | Runners up to Bengaluru | Shubman Gill |
How the squad has changed since our last update
When we last updated this page for 2025, Gujarat had just rebuilt at the mega auction around Gill, Rashid, Sudharsan, Buttler, Siraj, Rabada and Prasidh. That core is all still here. Sherfane Rutherford has since gone to Mumbai in a trade, and the 2026 auction added Jason Holder, Tom Banton, Luke Wood and Ashok Sharma.
Who owns GT
Gujarat Titans were founded in 2021 by CVC Capital Partners. In 2025 the Ahmedabad based Torrent Group bought a 67 percent majority stake, with CVC keeping the rest. Torrent’s pharmaceutical and power businesses are based in Ahmedabad, so the team is now owned from its home city. For every IPL owner and coach, see our IPL 2027 captains, owners and coaches list.
GT tickets for IPL 2027
The IPL 2027 schedule is not out yet, so GT tickets are not on sale. Gujarat’s home games will be at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera, Ahmedabad, the largest cricket stadium in the world, which hosted both the 2026 final and the 2023 final.
How GT tickets usually go on sale
In recent seasons, Gujarat have sold home tickets online through their official website and app and through the IPL’s official ticketing partner, usually a week or two before each game. Sales open match by match rather than all at once. Buy only from the official channels, because tickets sold on resale groups are often fake or cancelled.
Where to sit
The stadium is huge, so where you sit matters. The lower tiers square of the wicket give the best view of the cricket. The upper tiers are cheaper and give a better sense of the crowd, but players look very small from up there. Evening games in April and May are still hot in Ahmedabad, so bring water and arrive early. We will add 2027 prices and sale dates on our GT tickets page and our IPL 2027 tickets guide as soon as they are announced. All ten squads are on our IPL 2027 squads page.
iSportsLeague take
This is our view, not news. Gujarat do not need a rebuild. They lost the final to a better side on the night, and their core is the strongest in the league.
We think GT will release Shahrukh Khan, Glenn Phillips and Tom Banton on 17 November, plus some of the fringe players, and go to Goa with around Rs 12 crore. Most of that should go on one Indian middle order batter who can bat at four or five.
Do that, and Gujarat start 2027 as our favourites to win a second title. Rabada, Siraj, Prasidh, Holder and Rashid are the best attack in the IPL, and the top three is not far behind.
