आईपीएल 2026 की नीलामी से पहले गुजरात टाइटंस को 6 ऑलराउंडर्स को रिटेन करना चाहिए

Gujarat Titans (GT) have packed their side with quality bowlers and all-rounders. And that’s one of the reasons why they have reached the playoffs stage of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 3 out of 4 seasons. Despite winning the trophy in 2022, GT might feel they missed out a couple of times already.

Their tactics and team composition have been questionable at times. And to further strengthen their team, GT could release a few all-rounders for other players, whether they be batters, bowlers, or all-rounders.

6 all-rounders GT should retain for IPL 2026

There’s no need to talk about Washington Sundar and Rashid Khan when it comes to retention. Glenn Phillips, despite missing the entire IPL 2025 season, will be retained. The Kiwi all-rounder is a steal at the price GT got him and will be backed. Shahrukh Khan performed well after Gujarat showed faith by retaining him.

Rahul Tewatia was underused with the ball once again and was horrible with the bat, but GT are expected to put their faith in him. Manav Suthar didn’t get much chance last year but has been great in domestic cricket, showing value with both bat and ball.

Now, let’s come to those who missed out. Karim Janat didn’t do anything worth retaining. Dasun Shanaka didn’t play. Mahipal Lomror has got potential, but after getting bought for INR 1.70 crore, GT didn’t give him a game. One wonders why they would retain him now. Nishant Sindhu has the same attributes as Suthar, and retaining both doesn’t make sense.
