GT’s retention of Gill, Sai Sudharsan, Rashid Khan, and Rahul Tewatia was no surprise. The only retention that did surprise was Shahrukh Khan, who has been more of style than substance. However, GT had different ideas. At the auction, the solid buys for GT were the likes of Jos Buttler and Kagiso Rabada for a handsome chunk of money. A lot of money was also spent on acquiring Indian pacers Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna. Some valuable foreign names, such as Gerald Coetzee, Glenn Phillips, and Karim Janat, were added.

GT have most of their bases covered, and this looks well for the 2022 champions. Ahead of the IPL 2025 season, we decode the strengths, weaknesses, and takeaways of the Titans.

RETAINED PLAYERS LIST OF GT: Rashid Khan (Rs. 18 crore), Shubman Gill (Rs. 16.5 crore), Sai Sudharsan (Rs. 8.5 crore), Rahul Tewatia (Rs. 4 crore), Shahrukh Khan (Rs. 4 crore).
