On Monday, November 25, Gujarat Titans (GT) completed their squad for the IPL 2025 season following an eventful mega auction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The former IPL champions, known for their astute team-building strategies, made significant moves to strengthen their roster, including the high-profile signing of English batter Jos Buttler for INR 15.75 crore.
With a mix of experienced international stars and promising domestic talents, the Titans aim to bounce back after a subpar 2024 season, which followed two consecutive appearances in the finals. The 2025 squad is designed to address past weaknesses while bolstering their already impressive core.
Major Auction Signings
The signing of Jos Buttler was a marquee moment for Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2025 auction. The dynamic English batter brings unmatched experience and firepower to the top order, addressing GT’s need for consistency and aggression in their batting lineup.
In addition to Buttler, the Titans focused heavily on their pace attack, securing Kagiso Rabada (INR 10.75 crore), Mohammad Siraj (INR 12.25 crore), and Prasidh Krishna (INR 9.5 crore). This trio is set to complement GT’s spin wizard Rashid Khan, creating a formidable bowling unit capable of dominating both powerplays and death overs.
Other notable additions include Washington Sundar (INR 3.2 crore), Sherfane Rutherford (INR 2.6 crore), and Glenn Phillips (INR 2 crore), who bring all-round capabilities and depth to the team.
The Retained Core
The Titans retained their captain Shubman Gill (INR 16.5 crore), the ever-reliable Rashid Khan (INR 18 crore), and young sensation Sai Sudharsan (INR 8.5 crore). These three have been instrumental in Gujarat’s success in recent seasons.
Rahul Tewatia and Shahrukh Khan were also retained, providing the team with finishing options in the lower order. Together, the retained players form a strong backbone around which GT has built its revamped squad.
