The Gujarat Titans march into the IPL 2026 auction at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi with INR 12.9 Crore remaining in their purse. The one-time IPL champions have five slots to fill, including overseas cricketers. The Titans have a very settled top-order, but what they require is a reinforced middle-order that helps maintain the balance for the team. 

The Titans have a solid foundation, with proper batting firepower and smart bowling depth. They will focus on role-specific cricketers who will help bring some consistency in the upcoming season.

The Gujarat Titans have been the silent spectators at the start of the IPL 2026 Auction. The team has been calculated with their steps and kept every foot cautiously, given that they have an already robust squad.

The only time they made a significant splurge was for West Indies all-rounder Jason Holder. He can accompany the team's middle-order with his experience and all-around prowess. Shelling out INR 7 Crore may eventually benefit them for the 2026 season.

GT went on to add pace bowling options with stars like Luke Wood and Prithvi Raj Yarra, with both of them being proper left-arm bowling options in death overs and pitch conditions as per the requirements.

Another great batting addition for the Gujarat Titans is Tom Banton, as he will be a flexible overseas option which will benefit the franchise in terms of batters. As a dynamic wicketkeeper-batter and opener, he can be beneficial for the side in times of need.

Despite having limited options to pick stars, the Titans strategically made use of all their picks to address their current deficits. The squad depth after the IPL 2026 mini auction looks properly balanced, and it could elevate the franchise as frontrunners for the IPL title once again.
