The Titans entered the 2026 mini-auction with 20 players retained from the previous season. They only managed to pick four pacers in the side. Jason Holder, Ashok Sharma, Luke Wood, and Prithvi Raj Yarra.
Former Indian player Mohammad Kaif believes that the Gujarat Titans' death bowling issues will cost them in the upcoming season of the IPL, much like they did the last time in IPL 2025. He pointed out that Mohammed Siraj was hit by a death last time in the IPL.
Last time Prasidh Krishna operated in the middle phase and then bowled an over or two in the death. Kagiso Rabada has not been handy, and his spot in the XI might also not be a direct pick, as Holder and Phillips both seem crucial for team dynamics.
They always win the auction - Mohammad Kaif
Mohammad Kaif, in the same discussion video, highlighted that despite assembling a stunning side, the Gujarat Titans could not finish in the top two in IPL 2025.
The cricketer-turned-commentator pointed out that Shubman Gill's side's bowling got exposed under pressure towards the business end. Teams like LSG, CSK, and MI scored 225+ runs against them in the last three games, as they lost the back-end games, eventually being ruled out of the Eliminator.
How will the Gujarat Titans' Playing 12 look in IPL 2026?
Gujarat Titans will not have much dilemma with their top three cricketers. They will have Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan, the two Indian batters, opening for them. The world T20 veteran Jos Buttler has featured at no. 3 for the Titans.
Washington Sundar and Shahrukh Khan can be next in the batting order, with Jason Holder in at no. 7 for the Gujarat Titans. However, this simply means that Kagiso Rabada would not feature in the playing XI.
