Mon Nov 25 16:37:26 UTC 2024: ## Gujarat Titans Spend Big in IPL 2025 Auction
**Ahmedabad, India** – The Gujarat Titans (GT) have made significant moves in the IPL 2025 auction, securing several key players. After retaining five players, including Rashid Khan (₹18 crore) and Shubman Gill (₹16.5 crore), the team entered the auction with a limited budget of ₹69 crore.
Day one saw the Titans acquire England’s Jos Buttler for a hefty ₹15.75 crore, making him their most expensive buy of the first day. India’s Mohammed Siraj was another high-profile acquisition, costing the team ₹12.25 crore.
Day two of the auction saw the Titans add South African all-rounder Gerald Coetzee and Indian all-rounder Washington Sundar to their roster.
The Titans’ spending reflects their ambition to improve on a less-than-stellar performance last season. Notable players not retained include Mohammed Shami and David Miller. The team, only three seasons old, used their International Transfer Market (ITM) card to acquire at least one international player. The team won the IPL title once and reached the final another time.
