In a huge setback for Gujarat Titans, experienced all-rounder Glenn Phillips has been ruled out of the ongoing IPL 2025 tournament. During GT's high-voltage IPL encounter against SRH, Phillips sustained a groin injury which sidelined him from the competition. 

As Shubman Gill-led Gujarat Titans grapple with this injury setback, here are three players who can replace the New Zealand all-rounder in the IPL 2025. 

1. Michael Bracewell (Base Price - 1.5 Crore)

• New Zealand's experienced all-rounder Michael Bracewell is in sublime form. Apart from showcasing his all-round prowess in the Champions Trophy (82 runs, 8 wickets), Bracewell recently witnessed significant rise in the ICC rankings for his prolific outing against Pakistan at home. 
• The veteran cricketer enjoyed stellar success in the Super Smash as well, scoring 172 runs at a blistering strike rate of 184.95 and scalping seven wickets. 
• Apart from scoring brisk runs as a lower middle order batter, Bracewell can chip in with crucial strikes in the middle overs. So, he could be the most perfect replacement for Glenn Phillips in GT's IPL 2025 squad.

2. Dewald Brevis (Base Price - 0.75 Crore)

• Fondly called as Baby AB due to his uncanny resemblance with legendary batter AB de Villiers, Dewald Brevis is in red-hot form in the domestic circuit. 
• The explosive batter was a major reason behind MI Cape Town's memorable SA20 campaign this year, slamming 291 runs at an average of 48.5 and a blistering strike rate of 184.18. 
• Although he isn't as good as Glenn Phillips or Michael Bracewell with the ball, Brevis can tear apart the opposition with his scintillating stroke play. Also, if GT purchase Brevis, they can use him up the order while allowing Sherfane Rutherford to play purely as a finisher in the lower middle order. 

3. Sikandar Raza (Base Price - 1.25 Crore)

• In another move, the Titans might give a wildcard entry to Sikandar Raza, who hasn't been a familiar face in the IPL of late. 
• The veteran Zimbabwean all-rounder has a plethora of experience in T20 cricket, having participated in leagues all over the world. 
• Sikandar Raza was impressive as an all-rounder in the ILT20 last season, as shown in the above table. Apart from bowling crucial overs, Raza can be handy as a finisher on the batting-friendly decks in the IPL 2025.
