Gujarat Titans have signed Sri Lankan all-rounder Dasun Shanaka as a replacement for the injured Glenn Phillips in the ongoing IPL 2025. Shanaka, who previously played for the Titans in IPL 2023, was bought for INR 75 lakh. In his three matches in IPL 2023, Shanaka scored 26 runs. He has a strong T20I record for Sri Lanka, with 1456 runs and 33 wickets in 102 matches. Phillips was ruled out of the tournament due to a groin injury and has returned home. The Titans have not named a replacement for Kagiso Rabada, who also left the squad for personal reasons. Despite these setbacks, the Titans have won four out of six matches and are currently in second place on the points table. Their next match is against Delhi Capitals on April 19. Sai Sudharsan and Mohammed Siraj have been standout performers for the team, with Sudharsan second in the Orange Cap leaderboard and Siraj taking 10 wickets in the tournament so far.
