Gujarat Titans pick Dasun Shanaka as a replacement for the injured Glenn Phillips

Gujarat Titans (GT) have picked Sri Lanka’s Dasun Shanaka as a replacement for the injured Glenn Phillips for the remainder of the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.

Dasun Shanaka, an all-rounder, has scored 1456 runs in 102 T20Is for Sri Lanka along with 33 T20I wickets to his name. He has also played 71 ODIs and 6 Tests for Sri Lanka. He was previously part of GT in 2023 and played 3 matches. The all-rounder will join GT for INR 75 Lakh.

Notably, Glenn Phillips didn’t get the chance to play a single match this season and got injured while fielding as a substitute.

Gujarat Titans have been amazing till now in IPL 2025. The team is currently sitting in 2nd position in the table with four wins in six games. The top order of the team, including Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, and Josh Buttler, is in great form, while the bowlers like Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, and Sai Kishore have been amazing till now. However, there are some concerns with the middle order and finishing. Dasun Shanaka is a great replacement for GT as he can bat at the lower middle order and also can bowl some overs if needed.
