New Zealand all-rounder Glenn Phillips has been ruled out of IPL 2025 due to a groin injury sustained while fielding as a substitute during Gujarat Titans ' match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. This setback comes not long after GT lost pacer Kagiso Rabada , who returned home for personal reasons after playing just two matches.
Phillips, who was yet to make his debut for GT this season, injured himself while attempting to save a boundary. The 28-year-old's IPL 2025 campaign ended before he could make an appearance for the franchise.

Gujarat Titans released a short official statement addressing the situation: "Gujarat Titans wish Glenn a speedy recovery."
The injury marks a disappointing turn for Phillips, who had garnered attention for his exceptional fielding during New Zealand's Champions Trophy campaign. His powerful batting abilities had created anticipation for his potential impact in this year's IPL.
The Titans have had a strong start this IPL season. While their top-order batting lineup, featuring Sai Sudharsan, captain Shubman Gill, and Jos Buttler, has delivered strong performances, Phillips' absence will limit their bench strength options.
The timing of Phillips' exit adds to GT's growing concerns as they navigate through the tournament. Despite having capable performers in their ranks, losing two international players within a short span could impact their strategic plans for the remainder of IPL 2025.
