Shubman Gill

Shubman Gill will be GT’s first retention for ₹18 crore. GT has long-term plans with Gill; if he captains the team well this season and leads them to the playoffs, he could remain the captain for a few more years. Shubman also needs to prove that he deserves his role as vice-captain of India’s white-ball cricket team. His current salary is Rs. 8 crore.

Rashid Khan

Rashid Khan leads the spin attack for GT and has been phenomenal for the team. He is likely to be retained as their second retention. Rashid could command a minimum price tag of Rs. 14 crore, as the Afghan spinner already has a salary of Rs. 15 crore with GT.

Mohammed Shami

Though Mohammed Shami has been out of action since the conclusion of the 2023 ODI World Cup, he will remain a lethal bowler upon his return to the field. GT will likely retain their best pacer for Rs. 11 crore as their third retention.

Rahul Tewatia

Rahul Tewatia will be GT’s uncapped player, retained for Rs. 4 crore. Tewatia has the ability to hit big and provide acceleration for the team, making him a valuable asset they would not want to release. He will continue to be a great addition to the squad.
