The team has held on to several major names, including captain Shubman Gill, star spinner Rashid Khan, and dependable performers like Sai Sudharsan, Rahul Tewatia, Shahrukh Khan, Jos Buttler and Mohammed Siraj. These players continue to form the backbone of the Titans' setup as they look to build a competitive unit for the new season.
