IPL 2025 squad changes, full list: With the international calendar busy as ever and the Indian Premier League season witnessing a new high in terms of the number of matches over the last few seasons, there tend to be multiple changes in a squad, enforced by injuries. Here’s a look at all the squad changes in IPL 2025 so far.
Shanaka for Phillips (GT)
Sri Lankan all-rounder Dasun Shanaka returns to Gujarat Titans as a replacement for the injured Glenn Phillips. Shanaka, who was previously part of GT’s squad in the 2023 edition, played three matches for the franchise. He 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 joins GT for INR 75 Lakh. Phillips, the dynamite New Zealand allrounder who is a livewire on the field, hadn’t played a match for GT this season but got injured during his substitute appearance.
Mhatre for Gaikwad (CSK)
Chennai Super Kings were dealt a massive blow few weeks into their campaign as captain Ruturaj Gaikwad was ruled out due to an elbow fracture. Young Ayush Mhatre, all of 17 who has made an impact for Mumbai as an opener, has been roped in by CSK to replace their star batter. Mhatre has played 9 First-Class matches and 7 List A games and has scored 962 runs with a couple of daddy hundreds to his name. The right-handed batter joins CSK for INR 30 Lakh.
