Gujarat Titans ignore middle-order issues at IPL 2026 auction

The IPL 2026 auction saw the Gujarat Titans ignoring their middle-order woes, according to former selector Kris Srikkanth. He pointed out that their 2025 success relied on top batsmen Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, and Jos Buttler, leaving the middle order looking a bit shaky. With new players added, will GT finally find the balance they need?

Quick rundown

1.Kris Srikkanth claims GT bungled the middle-order upgrade at IPL 2026 auction.

2.Last season GT rode top three Sudharsan, Gill and Buttler to 500-plus runs.

3.Srikkanth says Liam Livingstone would have been a natural middle-order fit for GT.

4.GT did bring in Luke Wood, Tom Banton, Jason Holder among overseas slots.

5.Without a strengthened middle order, GT risk missing playoffs despite a stellar top order.
