New Delhi: Gujarat Titans (GT) have roped in Sri Lanka all-rounder Dasun Shanaka as a replacement for injured Glenn Phillips for the remaining part of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Interestingly, Shanaka has featured for GT in the past, in the 2023 season, when the team ended up as runners-up. He comes in at his base price of Rs. 75 lakh.
New Zealand’s Phillips had sustained a groin injury while fielding against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Hyderabad only over ten days back and was later ruled out of the cash-rich league to tend to his injury back home. He was a base price pick at Rs. 2 crore for the Titans, but did not feature in a single game before. He only acted as an impact substitute in the SRH game, which turned out to be his last of the ongoing season.
As far as Shanaka is concerned, he has only played one season of the IPL so far, where he played three games for GT, scoring just 26 runs and didn’t get to bowl at all.
