3 GT players who may not not be retained ahead of IPL 2027 Auction
Gujarat Titans reached the IPL 2026 final but lost to Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and the franchise will now look to reshape their squad at the IPL 2027 Auction.
2. R Sai Kishore
R Sai Kishore was one of GT's standout performers in IPL 2025, taking 19 wickets in 15 matches. Yet in IPL 2026, he featured in only 3 matches and managed just 1 wicket. The severe lack of opportunity stems from the squad's spin depth: Rashid Khan and Washington Sundar are firmly entrenched in GT's playing XI, leaving little room for an additional specialist spinner. Because GT also carry Manav Suthar and Nishant Sindhu as left-arm orthodox options, squad redundancy in that department makes Sai Kishore's position difficult to justify. The franchise used their RTM card to bring him back for ₹2 crore ahead of IPL 2025, but his limited role in 2026 raises questions about whether they will continue with him again.
