However, some of the players will sit on the bench even though they could be used in the playing XI. Let’s take a look at the 3 star players who could be on the bench for the Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025.

Gerald Coetzee

South African pacer Gerald Coetzee might have to sit on the bench in IPL 2025 as the Gujarat Titans already have bowlers like Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna ahead of him in the pecking order. Taking 13 wickets in 10 matches.

But injuries have been a concern for him. He was recently ruled out of the 2025 SA20 tournament and was also in the running as a replacement for Anrich Nortje in the 2025 Champions Trophy, but his own injury has raised questions over his availability. Therefore, the youngster will need to work to be fully fit for the IPL this season and be ready to make an impact whenever he gets a chance.

Glenn Phillips

Glenn Phillips is another player who may have to sit on the bench in IPL 2025. Sherfane Rutherford, the West Indies middle-order batsman, is ranked above him in the order. While Glenn Phillips can also play, Rutherford is considered an excellent mass.

Phillips has played only eight IPL matches and was on the bench all season for SRH in IPL 2024. The same can happen this year too, but he must wait for his opportunity and be ready when the time comes.

Ishant Sharma

Experienced fast bowler Ishant Sharma may have to start the season on the bench in IPL 2025 as the Gujarat Titans are expected to select Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj as their first-choice pacers. He grabbed ten wickets in nine matches for Delhi Capitals last season.

The good news for the Gujarat Titans is that Ishant has consistently played domestic cricket. In the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024, he grabbed 10 wickets in 7 games. Unlike Coetzee, Ishant has the advantage that he can be used as an impact player. You must be prepared to take advantage of any opportunity and make the most of it.
