IPL 2025: Why is GT’s Kagiso Rabada not playing against RCB

Well, there is no Kagiso Rabada in Gujarat Titans' mix against RCB, but why is this Proteas pacer missing the crucial IPL 2025 match? See what captain Shubman Gill said about this star pacer.

There is no Kagiso Rabada in Gujarat Titans’ XI vs RCB, as the fast bowler will not play in the clash against RCB. The South African pacer, who was bought for INR 10.75 crore in IPL 2025, has taken two wickets in the two matches played so far. Captain Shubman Gill revealed that Rabada will not be available for this match. When asked further about why he is missing out, the young captain stated that Rabada has made himself unavailable due to personal reasons, and Arshad Khan has been included in the team in his place. “We’ll bowl first. Looks like a good wicket. We’ve seen the conditions don’t change much. We’re all about reducing our unforced errors. We’ll try to finetune the areas that need it. Kagiso misses out due to personal reasons so we’ve got Arshad Khan back,” Gill said after the toss.
