On Day 1, GT picked up the likes of Jos Buttler (Rs 15.75 crore), Mohammed Siraj (Rs 12.25 crore), and Kagiso Rabada (Rs 10.75 crore) as their marquee signings. Meanwhile, the franchise also roped in stars like Prasidh Krishna (Rs. 9.50 crore), Nishant Sindhu (Rs. 30 lakh), Mahipal Lomror (Rs. 1.70 crore), Kumar Kushagra (Rs. 65 lakh), Anuj Rawat (Rs. 30 lakh), Manav Suthar (Rs. 30 lakh). They also have a minimum of 4 slots to fill. (Full Squad)
IPL Auction 2025: The first day of the mega auction saw 10 Indian Premier League franchises splashing Rs 467.95 crore on 72 players. Three stars - Rishabh Pant (Rs 27 crore, LSG), Shreyas Iyer (Rs 26.75 crore, PBKS) and Venkatesh Iyer (Rs 23.75 crore, KKR) - went over Rs 23-crore mark. There were other records too with Yuzvendra Chahal (Rs 18 crore, PBKS) becoming the most expensive Indian spinner ever while Arshdeep Singh (Rs 18 crore, PBKS) becoming the most expensive Indian pacer. On Day 2 of the auction, big names like Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Faf du Plessis, Washington Sundar, Marco Jansen, Deepak Chahar, Krunal Pandya will go under the hammer.
GT Full Squad, IPL 2025: Gujarat Titans look to bolster their squad with a purse of Rs 69 crore in the IPL 2025 auction. IPL 2024 was a disappointing outing for GT but they decided to retain their former Shubman Gill. However, he was not their top retention as that tag went to star Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan. Sai Sudharsan, who has been impressive in the ongoing domestic season, was also retained in the side. Shahrukh Khan and Rahul Tewatia were also retained as uncapped cricketers by the team.
Presence of a few frontline stars like Hardik Pandya, Mohammed Shami and its co-existence with the IPL mega auction have given the latest edition of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, beginning across venues from Saturday, a meaty context. But interestingly, the players are not sewn by a common auction thread in the country's premier domestic T20 tournament. Pandya need not to worry about impressing the IPL scouts after finding a place in Mumbai Indians' retention list ahead of the auction on November 23 and 24 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
After leaving Lucknow Super Giants, India wicket-keeper batter KL Rahul is on the hunt for a new franchise in the Indian Premier League. Though a return to Royal Challengers Bengaluru has been intensely discussed and debated among fans and former cricketers, the IPL auction dynamics are such that one can't predict where a certain player might get sold. But, RCB might not be Rahul's only choice, he does seem to have a few other sides on his radar ahead of the auction.
Shubman Gill was not named as Gujarat Titans' most expensive retention, with that honour going to Afghanistan all-rounder Rashid Khan ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction. The franchise also kept hold of two surprise uncapped Indian players. Gujarat Titans left everyone utterly impressed as they clinched the IPL title in their inaugural season in 2022. Under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya, they went on to play the final in IPL 2023 but lost lost to Chennai Super Kings. However in 2024, Hardik left the Gujarat-based franchise to reunite with his old team Mumbai Indians and Shubman Gill took as the skipper of the team. In that season, GT failed to get through the playoffs. GT have now announced the names of their retained players for the upcoming mega auctions.
