Gujarat Titans finally made their moves on retention day after spending most of the trade window sitting quietly in the corner. The franchise has released four players, a small but necessary clean-up after a patchy 2025 season. With Sherfane Rutherford already moved to Mumbai Indians, GT’s plan is simple: free up space for players who can genuinely influence games, not just warm the bench.
The biggest exit is Afghanistan all-rounder Karim Janat, who played one match and conceded 30 in his only over. South Africa pacer Gerald Coetzee also leaves after failing to cement a role despite his pace. Among the Indian names, Mahipal Lomror and Kulwant Khejroliya have been let go. These were predictable calls given how little they featured last season. There was huge speculation around Kagiso Rabada’s place but thankfully GT have shown faith in the modern-day great.
