Gujarat Titans Retention List: IPL 2022 champions Gujarat Titans proved to be one of the worst teams of the last season. Now it has been revealed that Gujarat has decided to retain Shubman Gill and Rashid Khan for IPL 2025. Apart from them, there is news of Shahrukh Khan being retained as an uncapped player. Let us remind you that GT had to be content with the eighth position in the points table last season.
Quoting PTI, an IPL source said that Gujarat can retain Shubman Gill, Rashid Khan, and Sai Sudarshan. Apart from them, Rahul Tewatia and Shahrukh Khan can be retained as uncapped players. Gill was the captain of the Gujarat team last season and in case he is retained, it is possible that he can get the responsibility of captaincy again.
Shubman Gill scored 426 runs in 12 matches for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2024, but the previous season was historic for him. In 2023, a total of 890 runs came off his bat and he made a significant contribution in taking GT to the final. Talking about Rashid Khan, he took 19 wickets in the first season with Gujarat and a total of 27 wickets in 2023. But in IPL 2024, he could take only 10 wickets.
If Gujarat is going to retain three players, then as per BCCI's retention policy, it will have to spend a total of Rs 43 crore on Shubman Gill, Rashid Khan, and Sai Sudarshan. On the other hand, GT's purse will be emptied by Rs 8 crore to retain Rahul Tewatia and Shahrukh Khan as uncapped players. This means that Gujarat's management can enter the auction with Rs 69 crore.
