Gujarat Titans (GT) have had a dream run since they entered the IPL - winning the title right off the bat in 2022 and finishing as runner-ups in 2023. However, after missing out in 2024, the Titans are now gearing up for the IPL 2025 mega auction and they’ve retained a formidable core of five players: Shubman Gill, Rashid Khan, Sai Sudharsan, Rahul Tewatia & Shahrukh Khan.
With only a few big guns locked in, Gujarat Titans’ sights will be set on bringing in some uncapped talent—players who can bring their A-game without breaking the bank. Here are three uncapped players, whom GT will target during the IPL 2025 mega auction.
3. Vijaykumar Vyshak

Why Will GT Target Vijaykumar Vyshak?
With experienced bowlers like Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav out, GT needs a new Indian pacer to step up, and Vijaykumar Vyshak could be the one. He’s already made his mark in the IPL with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), snagging 13 wickets in 11 games. Sure, his economy was a bit high, but that’s where GT’s team management could help him refine his skills.
Vyshak’s got a knack for hitting those yorkers on point, making him a tough bowler to face in the death overs. Plus, he was part of India’s T20I squad against South Africa, so he’s getting plenty of experience under his belt. GT could definitely use his energy and potential to bolster their pace attack.
2. R Sai Kishore

Why Will GT Target R Sai Kishore?
R Sai Kishore isn’t new to GT fans, he was part of their squad last season. Even though they released him, GT might just want him back. His recent domestic performances have been impressive, and his left-arm spin adds a unique angle. In his IPL outings, he’s picked up 13 wickets in 10 games, but his real strength is his ability to dry up the runs in the middle overs.
His height, pace, and disciplined line make him a real headache for batters, especially when they’re looking to accelerate. With the auction coming up, don’t be surprised if GT snags him again—they know his value and what he can bring to the team’s spin department.
1. Mohit Sharma

Why Will GT Target Mohit Sharma?
Mohit Sharma’s comeback story in the IPL is nothing short of incredible. After vanishing from the IPL for years, he came back with GT in 2023 and showed what he’s capable of with his stunning bowling. The Haryana-based cricketer went on to bag an astonishing 27 wickets in 14 games that season, and in 2024, he snagged up another 13 wickets in 12 games.
His experience, variations, and cool head under pressure are all qualities that make him a big catch for any team. And here’s the kicker—with the new rule, he qualifies as an “uncapped” player since he hasn’t played for India or held a BCCI central contract in the last five years. GT could bring him back without splurging too much, and he’d likely be a game-changer for them again.
