IPL 2025: Kagiso Rabada has made an unexpected early departure from the 2025 IPL season, returning to South Africa due to personal reasons. The Gujarat Titans pacer played just two matches before leaving the tournament, with his absence first noted during Wednesday's game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
In his brief IPL stint this season, Rabada bowled his complete quota of overs in both matches, conceding 83 runs while taking two wickets. Gujrat Titans captain Shubman Gill initially revealed Rabada's absence was due to personal matters during the toss against RCB. The franchise later confirmed the South African speedster had flown home.
