Who Is Washington Sundar Replacing In Gujarat Titans Playing XI against SRH For IPL 2025?

Disha Asrani

After Shubman Gill won the toss and elected to bowl first against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), the Gujarat Titans (GT) skipper announced that Washington Sundar is replacing Arshad Khan in the playing XI.

Arshad Khan is a specialist bowler who has been effective in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 so far. By including Sundar in the mix, GT have an extra batter, thereby strengthening their batting line-up. Furthermore, a left-handed batter always makes it challenging for the opponent to bowl to.

In two games for Gujarat Titans so far, Arshad snared just one wicket while giving away 38 runs. On the other hand, Sundar will be playing his debut match for the franchise.

Having played 60 games so far, Washington has taken 37 wickets at an average of 35.81 and an economy rate of 7.54. With the bat, he has collected 378 runs.

Going by the principle of "Do what you love and love what you do," it's almost serendipitous when I call myself a cricket content writer. Through the ebbs and flows of life, sports have been a constant companion since I learnt how to communicate. The bat, racquet, paddle, a pen, and now a keyboard have not just been extensions of my arm, but fragments of my brain and heart. They help me express, analyse, and celebrate the game I love, blending passion with purpose, one word at a time. If I were to express how I'm feeling right now, the umpire would signal a six.
