Create a pool for Google Cloud destination. Modify iRule with pool name accordingly.

AltostratusSanjay, actually https://def.site.com/home is external url, so we don’t have any pool internally. Can I just remove only the pool part from the above iRule to forward to an external url ? Or is there any other condition to add ?

To forward to that destination without modifying a original URL, you need to add the pool or node.
I understand, you might not have a pool currently, but you would need to create a pool with the site IP address and enable routing (if needed) and open FW.
Alternatively, you can just send a redirect to a client to that external URL, but it would change the URL and your requirement is to keep the original URL intact in the browser if I understand it correctly.
