IPL 2025: Gujarat Titans signs Kusal Mendis to replace Jos Buttler during Playoffs; Punjab Kings gets Jamieson for injured Lockie

  • Gujarat Titans will replace Jos Buttler with Kusal Mendis for the IPL 2025 playoffs starting May 17 in New Delhi due to Buttler's international duty.
  • Buttler's unavailability arises from his selection for England’s ODI series against West Indies beginning May 29, creating a gap at Gujarat Titans’ crucial number 3 batting position.
  • Mendis, a Sri Lanka wicketkeeper-batter who scored 143 runs in five Pakistan Super League matches with a 168 strike rate, is awaiting his India visa to join Gujarat Titans.
  • Gujarat Titans lead the IPL 2025 standings, having accumulated 16 points over their first 11 games, and have made history by featuring three batters—Gill, Sudharsan, and Buttler—each surpassing 500 runs this season.
  • Replacing Buttler with Mendis could be challenging for Gujarat Titans, but they aim to finish in the top two for two chances at the final scheduled on June 3 in New Delhi.
