5 players retained: Rashid Khan (INR 18 crore), Shubman Gill (INR 16.50 crore), Sai Sudharsan (INR 8.50 crore), Rahul Tewatia (INR 4 crore), Shahrukh Khan (INR 4 crore)
Purse remaining for auction: INR 69 crore (out of INR 120 crore)
Analysis: The former IPL champions have retained their marquee players, which we all expected, including Rashid Khan and Shubman Gill. Retaining Sai Sudharsan, who shined as an opener for GT in the last season, was a no-brainer. Additionally, retaining Rahul Tewatia, who has consistently bailed GT out into winning positions throughout his tenure, was also a wise decision. Mohammed Shami was not retained, likely due to his prolonged injury issues. However, Gujarat still has one Right to Match (RTM) card available for the IPL 2025 mega auction, which they could use to bring back the lethal swing bowler.
