GT vs MI: Why Washington Sundar Is Not Playing Today’s IPL 2025 Match?

Washington Sundar is not in Gujarat Titans' playing XI but is part of the impact substitutes and could be included in the second innings if needed.

The ninth match of IPL 2025 is being played at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, where Gujarat Titans are facing Mumbai Indians. Both teams are looking for their first win of the season.

Mumbai Indians‘ captain, Hardik Pandya, won the toss and chose to bowl first. However, when Gujarat Titans‘ skipper Shubman Gill announced the playing XI, Washington Sundar’s name was missing, leaving fans curious about his absence.

Washington Sundar is not in the starting XI but is part of the impact substitute list. Since Gujarat Titans are batting first, they might include him later if needed, especially in the second innings when they come out to bowl.
