The Gujarat Titans have some tough news: New Zealand all-rounder Glenn Phillips will miss the remaining matches of IPL 2025 because of a groin injury. He got hurt during a game against Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 6.
In the sixth over of the match while fielding, Glenn chased after the ball and appears to have strained his groin when throwing it back. He immediately signaled for the team’s doctor and left the field. Fans know Glenn for his amazing athletic skills. The Titans bought him for Rs 1.5 crore during the big player auction.
After the injury, Glenn will return to New Zealand. He is the second player from the Gujarat Titans to leave; Kagiso Rabada had to go back to South Africa because of a personal issue. There’s no news yet on when Glenn might come back to the team.
The Titans are scheduled to face Lucknow Super Giants on Saturday. With Glenn gone, they now have only five overseas players left in their squad: Jos Buttler, Sherfane Rutherford, Rashid Khan, Gerald Coetzee, and Karim Janat. In the IPL, each team can have up to eight foreign players, but only four can play in a match.
Despite this setback, the 2022 champions are doing well in the tournament. They currently sit at the top of the IPL points table with four wins and eight points from five games. The only match they lost was the very first game against Punjab Kings.
