Sanjay Manjrekar, a former India international, has commended Gujarat Titans for their continued success in the IPL, calling it a ‘remarkable story’. Despite undergoing significant changes, including the departure of a winning captain, GT has managed to qualify for the playoffs in four out of five seasons they have competed in.
Manjrekar praised the team’s consistency and credited Ashish Nehra for his role in their success. He also highlighted the impressive performance of GT’s top-order batsmen, Shubman Gill, B. Sai Sudharsan, and Jos Buttler, who have been instrumental in scoring runs for the team. Sudharsan and Gill have consistently featured in the Orange Cap standings, collectively contributing over 1700 runs to the team.
Manjrekar noted the team’s unique approach to chasing targets, opting for a more methodical approach rather than aggressive batting. This strategy has led to consistent performances and a lower strike rate during the league matches, but Manjrekar believes it will serve them well in the playoffs.
Overall, Manjrekar’s observations highlight GT’s impressive journey in the IPL and their potential to make a mark in the upcoming playoffs. The team’s ability to adapt and perform under pressure has been key to their success in the tournament.
