Exactly a month ago, Gujarat Titans pacer Kagiso Rabada returned home from the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season, with the franchise labelling the reason a ‘personal' one. However, the South African speedster has now revealed that he had to return home due to ‘provisional suspension' over the usage of recreational drugs.
