Gujarat has opted out.
GT IPL Auction 2026 Live Updates: Ahead of the IPL 2026 auction scheduled for December 16, 2025, Gujarat Titans (GT) have retained a strong core as they look to build a balanced squad for the upcoming season. The franchise has placed its trust in captain Shubman Gill, along with match-winners such as Rashid Khan, Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler, Mohammed Siraj, and Rahul Tewatia, ensuring stability across both batting and bowling departments. However, GT have also made a few tough calls by releasing players including Mahipal Lomror and Gerald Coetzee to create room for fresh options. With a remaining purse of ₹12.9 crore, the Titans will enter the auction aiming to fill five vacant slots, four of which are overseas, as they look to fine-tune their combination for IPL 2026.

Gujarat is now after Venkatesh Iyer. The bidding war has started for former KKR batter.
The wait is over, the auction for IPL 2026 has started with all the franchises ready to go all out to bring their best player in.
Gujarat Titans are largely settled but could look to strengthen a few specific areas at the auction. Adding depth to the lower middle order is likely to be a priority, while the franchise may also keep an eye out for backup fast bowlers, both Indian and overseas, to bolster their pace resources. A spin-bowling all-rounder could also feature on GT’s radar, depending on how much flexibility their budget allows during the bidding.
The IPL 2026 Auction will start at 2:30 PM IST on December 16, Tuesday.
