Gujarat Titans Retentions: After the Titans won in their maiden season, they came close in their second season as well only to emerge second-best. But 2024 was not a memorable season and hence they could reshuffle their squad. The Titans, like the other franchises, will be in a dilemma over a few players for sure. For example, one understands that captain Shubman Gill and Rashid Khan are certainties, but who would be the other three and will they opt for an RTM?
Here are the five players likely to be retained by Gujarat Titans .
GT's Likely Retentions
Shubman Gill: He has been tasked to lead the side since Hardik Pandya moved across to Mumbai Indians . Gill may not have got the favourable result in IPL 2024, but again, he has age on his side and that is bound to help his case. He is likely to be the first retention of the Titans.
Rashid Khan: The all-rounder is among the best of the generation and hence he gets retained without a doubt. He can win games with the ball and the bat and that makes him special. The Afghanistan star is likely to be the second retention of the Titans.
Mohammed Shami: Given the fact that he is injury-prone, the Titans would have a long and hard thought about him. Will he be retained? It is a difficult call the franchise would have to make. When injury-free, he is one of the best in the business.

David Miller: The veteran brings in a lot of IPL experience and hence despite his age, the Titans would consider him as the fourth retention. He is a finisher and gives depth in batting at the backend.
Sai Sudarshan: The left-hander is a quality batter and can bowl a bit. He is very consistent with the bat and has a realistic chance of being chosen as one of the retentions.
