The Gujarat Titans had retained a total of 20 players ahead of the IPL 2026 mini-auction. They bought Ashok Sharma, the paceman, alongside the likes of Tom Banton, Prithviraj Yarra, and Luke Wood in the mini-auction. However, their best pick remained the West Indies all-rounder Jason Holder.
Former Indian player Aakash Chopra picked the Gujarat Titans' probable playing combination in the upcoming edition of the IPL 2026. He has kept the no. 4 position in the Shubman Gill-led side as a floater.
The wicket-keeper batter from Jharkhand has been on a dream run in the domestic tournaments and is most likely to find his way through to the Gujarat Titans team. He can be monumental to the middle order, especially with Sherfane Rutherford no longer a part of the Titans side.
Aakash Chopra picks Glenn Phillips over Jason Holder
"If you keep Glenn Phillips at No. 5 and Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj and Kagiso Rabada after that, then Shahrukh, Anuj Rawat, Arshad Khan and Sai Kishore can all be in the impact player list.
Phillips came in handy in the middle order for them, while Jason Holder showed some remarkable skill to finish the innings. While Phillips would be essential to hold the middle order together, the Titans have been lacking a player who could give them a strong finish.
Aakash Chopra picks the highest run-getter and wicket-taker for the Gujarat Titans in IPL 2026
"Who could be the Gujarat Titans' highest run-scorer? I think it will be Shubman Gill one more time. Who can take the most wickets? It can't be Prasidh Krishna two back-to-back years. So either Mohammed Siraj or Rashid Khan," Chopra stated.
Though Aakash Chopra felt that it is very difficult to replicate the previous season's formula successfully, the Gujarat Titans can still win the middle-overs battle with their fast bowling unit operating closely with spinners Rashid Khan and Sai Kishore.
