GT’s retained core remains one of the strongest in the league. With match-winners like Shubman Gill, Jos Buttler, Rashid Khan, Rabada, Tewatia, and Siraj, the franchise has a well-balanced spine across departments. The presence of young talents like B Sai Sudharsan and Shahrukh Khan further strengthens their middle order.
With four overseas slots open, GT are expected to target a fast-bowling all-rounder, a death-overs pacer, and a finishing specialist at the IPL 2026 auction.
