GT Team 2026 Players List: GT chose retained 20 players and went into the mini-auction with a purse of Rs 12.90 crore. They let Sherfane Rutherford join the Mumbai Indians on retention deadline day. Before that, GT had let go of South African pace bowling all-rounder, Gerald Coetzee, and former Sri Lanka skipper Dasun Shanaka. Karim Jannat — whose Indian Premier League debut was spoiled by teenage prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi — Kulwant Khejroliya and Mahipal Lomror have also been released from the GT squad.
GT’s season was almost entirely built on their run-machine of a top order made of Jos Buttler, Sai Sudharsan and captain Shubman Gill. The departure of Rutherforde, though, means that GT will be in the market to strengthen their middle order, even with someone like Washington Sundar in there. Moreover, Shahrukh Khan hasn’t been too convincing in domestic cricket off late while Rahul Tewatia is recovering from an injury.
Ashok Sharma (Rs 90 lakhs), Jason Holder (Rs 7 crore), Tom Banton (Rs 2 crore), Prithvi Raj (Rs 30 lakhs), Luke Wood (Rs 75 lakhs)
