Ahmedabad, April 12 2025: Gujarat Titans all-rounder Glenn Phillips returns home following a groin injury. He will miss the remainder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.

Key Points

1

Phillips injured during fielding effort in SRH match

2

Joins GT for INR 2 crore in mega auction

3

Has played 8 IPL matches previously across teams

4

Yet to feature significantly in IPL 2025

Phillips returned to New Zealand after a groin injury he sustained during the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on April 6. "Gujarat Titans wish Glenn a speedy recovery," said a statement from Gujarat Titans.

The injury happened during Prasidh Krishna's over when Ishan Kishan pushed a short ball to the point for a single. Glenn Phillips gave it his all and tried everything to stop the run. The batsmen successfully completed the run, but Phillips suffered an injury. He was taken off the field with the medical team a few minutes later.

Philips is yet to feature for GT in IPL 2025. He is one of the best fielders, and GT used his services against SRH. He showed his fielding skills during the Champions Trophy 2025 and was the best fielder during the ICC event.

Phillips joined GT for INR 2 crore in the IPL 2025 mega-auction. Glenn has played eight IPL matches for two different teams (SRH and RR). He has made 65 runs in eight matches with a best of 25.

Sensational ball striking by GT skipper Shubman Gill, Washington Sundar, and Sherfane Rutherford and Mohammed Siraj's magnificent four-wicket haul were the highlights as Gujarat crushed a reckless SRH at their own den by seven wickets on Sunday.

Lucknow Super Giants will host the Gujarat Titans in Match No. 26 of the ongoing IPL 2025 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Saturday, April 12.

Gujarat Titans: B Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill (Captain), Jos Buttler (wk), Shahrukh Khan, Sherfane Rutherford, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Kagiso Rabada, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Mohammad Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Ishant Sharma, Washington Sundar, Glenn Phillips, Anuj Rawat, Mahipal Lomror, Arshad Khan, Jayant Yadav, Nishant Sindhu, Kulwant Khejroliya, Gerald Coetzee, Manav Suthar, Kumar Kushagra, Gurnoor Brar, Karim Janat.

That fielding effort looked painful to watch 😬 Injuries are the worst part of sports. GT's bench strength will be tested now. Who do you think will replace him?

Respect for giving 100% on the field, but GT might not miss him much with that batting record. 65 runs in 8 matches isn't exactly setting the IPL on fire.

His fielding in Champions Trophy was 🔥! Such a shame we won't see those acrobatic catches this season. Get well soon, Glenn!

Injuries are part of the game, but the timing couldn't be worse with crucial matches coming up. GT management needs to act fast with their replacement strategy.

That's why I love cricket - players giving everything even for a single run. Speedy recovery to Phillips! Meanwhile, GT's win against SRH was clinical 👏
