Kagiso Rabada, who was roped in by the Gujarat Titans (GT) for a whopping INR 10.75 crore at the mega auction, returned back home after playing just two matches in IPL 2025.
Rabada featured in the matches against the Mumbai Indians and the Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League 2025 and registered bowling figures of 1 for 41 and 1 for 42.
Since then, there was no update on his return to the Gujarat Titans, until recently when the assistant coach Aashish Kapoor addressed the matter while speaking to the media.
"We are just waiting for him. He might return. He's got some family, personal problems for which he's gone. Once he's sorted out with that, if its sorted out in time, he will be back. But we don't know when. We are just waiting as everyone is."
And with Rashid I think it was his back which was hurting him - Aashish Kapoor
In IPL 2025, Rashid Khan has bowled 22 overs and picked up only four wickets at an economy rate of 9.77 and an average of 53.75. He also went wicketless in three consecutive matches against Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
"As cricketers whether it is a batsman or a bowler, over a period of time when you're doing well, you get into certain bad habits whether its batting or bowling, with your basics. And with Rashid I think it was his back which was hurting him last year where he had to do a surgery. Sometimes when you are in so much pain and you're still playing matches, you tend to do something with your action so that your pain is less."
