3 players Gujarat Titans might trade before IPL 2026 Auction

1. Rashid Khan

One of the biggest names the Titans could trade by star spinner Rashid Khan. The Afghan superstar, who has been part of the team since their debut in 2022, had his toughest IPL season in 2025. In 15 innings, he managed only 9 wickets at an average of over 40 and an economy rate of 8.75.

With the bat, too, Rashid failed to make an impact, scoring just 40 runs in eight innings at an average of 8.00 and a strike rate of 142.86. His poor form extended during the 2025 Asia Cup, as he claimed only three wickets and scored 47 runs in three matches as Afghanistan crashed out early. While Rashid was retained for INR 18 crore, the team could look to trade him or release him to free up some funds.
