news.webindia123.comSai Sudharsan’s IPL price for 2026 is reported as ₹8.50 crore (retained by Gujarat Titans) in multiple updates circulating in April 2026. He has been a GT player since 2022, with a notable rise in form and value over the seasons leading up to 2026.[1][5][8]
Key points about the 2026 price and context:
- Retained price: ₹8.50 crore for IPL 2026 (GT retention).[1]
- Auction/past price trend: initial IPL entries at ₹20 lakh for GT in 2022, with escalation in 2025 to ₹8.50 crore after strong performance.[7][1]
- Performance context: consistent engagement as GT’s top-order bat with centuries and high-scoring seasons shaping the value by 2026.[5][8]
Additional notes and caveats:
- Some outlets mention his continued salary at ₹8.50 crore for 2026 as part of retention rather than a new auction price, which aligns with GT's long-term plan for him.[5][1]
- For the most current or official confirmation (team announcements or IPL governing body updates), check Gujarat Titans’ official communications or IPL auction/retention lists as those sources are the most authoritative.
