Gujarat Titans have made a new addition to their squad by signing Sri Lankan all-rounder Dasun Shanaka to replace the injured Glenn Phillips for the remainder of the IPL season. Phillips suffered a groin injury while fielding as a substitute in a match against Sunrisers Hyderabad and has had to return home as a result.
Shanaka, who has previously played for Gujarat Titans in 2023 and featured in three matches, will now rejoin the team for a fee of Rs 75 lakhs. The team, which currently sits in second place in the IPL standings with eight points from six matches, is gearing up to take on table-toppers Delhi Capitals in their next match on Saturday.
This move comes as a strategic decision by Gujarat Titans to bolster their squad and maintain their strong position in the tournament. Shanaka’s all-round abilities will be a valuable asset to the team as they continue their campaign for the IPL title.
The team management is confident in Shanaka’s abilities and believes that he will seamlessly integrate into the squad and make a positive impact on their performance. With Shanaka’s addition, Gujarat Titans are looking to maintain their momentum and secure more victories in the upcoming matches.
Overall, the team is optimistic about their prospects for the rest of the season and is determined to put up a strong fight against their competitors in the IPL. With Shanaka on board, Gujarat Titans are ready to face any challenges that come their way and continue their quest for success in the tournament.
