Gujarat Titans enter IPL 2026 with a strong top order led by Shubman Gill, who, along with Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler, contributed over 70% of the team's runs last season. While some sources highlight concerns about the middle order's limited opportunities and fielding weaknesses, including 28 dropped catches, head coach Ashish Nehra dismisses middle-order issues, attributing challenges to the top three's dominance and difficult finishing roles. The team has retained most players and added all-rounder Jason Holder to strengthen balance.
