GT Squad 2027, Gujarat Titans Full Player List, Prices

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).

Manav SutharLeft arm spinnerAuction 2025Rs 30 lakh
Prithvi Raj YarraFast bowlerAuction 2026Rs 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.

BowlerFee2026 wicketsCost per wicket
Kagiso RabadaRs 10.75 crore29About Rs 37 lakh
Jason HolderRs 7 crore17About Rs 41 lakh
Prasidh KrishnaRs 9.50 crore16About Rs 59 lakh
Mohammed SirajRs 12.25 crore19About Rs 64 lakh
Rashid KhanRs 18 crore21About Rs 86 lakh
Wickets are for the full 2026 season including the playoffs. Fees are contract values. The sums are our own and are rounded. Cost per wicket says nothing about economy rate, which is where Rashid earns much of his fee.

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 releaseFeeRunning total
Purse left from 2026Rs 1.95 croreRs 1.95 crore
Shahrukh KhanRs 4 croreRs 5.95 crore
Glenn Phillips (OS)Rs 2 croreRs 7.95 crore
Tom Banton (OS)Rs 2 croreRs 9.95 crore
Luke Wood (OS)Rs 75 lakhRs 10.70 crore
Jayant YadavRs 75 lakhRs 11.45 crore
Ishant SharmaRs 75 lakhRs 12.20 crore
Anuj RawatRs 30 lakhRs 12.50 crore
The release list is a prediction, not news. The running total assumes the 2027 purse stays at Rs 125 crore. Reported prediction

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.

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.

FinishingTewatia, Holder, RashidAgeing

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.

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.

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.
