Gujarat Titans (GT) has officially announced the names of the players they have retained and released ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 mini auction.
November 15 was the deadline set by the Indian Premier League (IPL) Governing Council to share the list of retained and released players and all the franchises made their decisions public on the same day.
Ahead of the IPL 2026 Retention Day, Gujarat Titans (GT) became the hot topic of discussion when it was reported that they had held talks with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to trade young spin-bowling all-rounder Washington Sundar.
