Gujarat Titans Retained Players 2027 — Retention List, Rules & 2025 Recap
GT · Retention deadline 15 November 2026 · Salary cap Rs 157 crore · Head coach: Ashish Nehra
What to Watch on the GT List
Gujarat's core is the envy of the league — Gill, Rashid, Sudharsan, plus the 2026 Purple Cap winner Kagiso Rabada — and Ashish Nehra's lists are famously stable. Expect the 2026 finalists to retain heavily and let other franchises create the auction drama.
GT Retention History — the Pattern
Gujarat's 2025 list kept the spine of the 2022 debut-title side — Rashid Khan, Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan at the top — and spent just Rs 51 crore doing it. Stability has been the Titans' whole method: two finals in four seasons, built on lists that rarely surprise anyone.

The Rules GT Are Working To
IPL 2027 is a mini-auction year: there is no slab-based retention event and no Right-to-Match. Gujarat Titans simply confirm which contracted players they keep — each salary counting in full against the Rs 157 crore cap — and which they release into the 16 December Goa auction pool. Trades remain possible until 9 December 2026. Current captain: Shubman Gill. Full squad: Gujarat Titans squad page. League-wide picture: IPL 2027 Retention Hub.
