Gujarat Titans faced a setback as Kagiso Rabada, their fast bowler, returned to South Africa in the middle of the ongoing IPL 2025 season due to personal reasons. Rabada’s absence has left GT with uncertainty about his return date, prompting them to consider relying on Gerald Coetzee, whom they acquired for INR 2.4 crore in the auction. Despite Rabada’s departure, GT managed to secure two wins in three games this season, defeating Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore. With uncertainty surrounding Rabada’s return, GT may turn to Coetzee or Karim Janat for support in the upcoming matches. GT captain Shubman Gill had announced Rabada’s absence from the playing XI for the match against RCB, where Arshad Khan filled in and made an impact. Gujarat Titans will face Sunrisers Hyderabad in their next match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium.
