The IPL 2026 mini-auction will be held today at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. More than 350 players will be available, and teams are planning carefully to build balanced squads.
Gujarat Titans will enter the auction with Rs 12.90 crore left to spend. They have kept captain Shubman Gill and overseas players such as Jos Buttler and Kagiso Rabada.
Gujarat Titans already have the key parts that many teams try hard to build at the auction, such as a reliable top order, several quality fast bowlers, and strong spin options. What they need now are a few clear, role-based additions that can turn a good playing eleven into a dominant, match-winning team.
The situation is clear from the figures. Gujarat Titans go into the mini-auction with Rs 12.90 crore to spend and five open spots, including four for overseas players. With limited money and several places to fill, teams usually have to make trade-offs. For GT, this means staying focused, making one key signing and then picking good-value players to finish the squad without weakening the backup options.
Gujarat Titans joined the IPL in 2021 and have quickly become one of the most exciting teams in the league. They enjoyed immediate success by winning the IPL title in their first season in 2022, defeating the 2008 champions Rajasthan Royals in the final.
