The main narrative for the Gujarat Titans, the 2022 Indian Premier League champions, heading into the mini-auction will be their choice to transfer Hardik Pandya to the Mumbai Indians. Pandya led the team to both a championship and a runner-up position in the team's first two years of existence.
With Pandya out of the picture, GT has given opening batter Shubman Gill more of a leadership role. The 24-year-old, who won the Orange Cap in 2023, is still racking up accolades in his brief career.
Regarding GT's published player list, there are no major surprises. Highlights include Yash Dayal, Odean Smith, and Dasun Shanaka, the former captain of Sri Lanka.

When the franchise deadline was reached, Pandya was first retained by GT. But a day later, the deal was formally finalized. Other notable players who have been kept in include Gill, Mohammed Shami, Rashid Khan, and pinch-hitter Rahul Tewatia.

Six of the 17 players on the Gujarat Titans' current roster are foreign players. This indicates that they can accommodate up to eight extra players, maybe including two foreign players.
