The India vs South Africa T20 series is currently tied at 1-1. The first match was won by Team India and the second match was won by the visiting team. But Shubman Gill’s bat did not work in both the matches. In Cuttack, he was out after scoring 4 runs and in New Chandigarh he could not even open his account. Ashish Nehra has come to his defence, who is not happy with the criticism he is receiving.

Ashish Nehra believes that it is wrong to judge a player like Shubman Gill after one or two matches in T20 format. This shows the increasing tendency to draw hasty conclusions. According to media reports, when he was asked whether he was worried about Gill’s form? Now three months are left for the start of IPL. On this Nehra said, ‘Let alone three months, if IPL was starting even after 3 weeks, I would not be worried because you are talking about a format like T20. Only 2 matches have been played against South Africa.

Gujarat Titans head coach Ashish Nehra believes that in India conclusions are reached just by looking at the numbers, which is the basic problem. He said, ‘This is the problem. In this format, if a player like Shubhman Gill is judged if he does not do well in 2 or 3 matches, then it will be difficult. We have many options. If you want to remove Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma, you can get Sai Sudarshan and Rituraj Gaikwad to open the innings. If you want to bowl to them too, you can get Washington and Ishan Kishan to open. There are many options. If you lose one or two matches or the statistics of any batsman or bowler are not good and you talk about changing them, then it will be difficult.

Washington Sundar played only 6 matches for Gujarat Titans in the last edition. The head coach of the team indicated that if he remains fit, he may get a chance to play more matches this time. IPL auction will be held in Abu Dhabi on 16 December. Gujarat Titans can buy a maximum of 5 players in the auction, out of these 4 slots of the team are available for foreign players. Gujarat has a purse balance of Rs 12.9 crore in the auction.

Ashish Nehra Backs Mohammed Siraj to perform in England: Indian veteran player and head coach of Gujarat Titans Ashish Nehra has expressed confidence in the five -match Test series against England.

Nehra described Siraj as the leader of the bowling attack with Bumrah. He said that if Siraj takes 25-30 wickets against England, then he will not be suitable at all.

Nehra said, “Siraj now has more experience. So I won’t be surprised if they finish the series with 25-30 wickets. He is a bowling attack leader with Bumrah. We have seen him bowling in England. He is a fit and energetic player, which will give you to 20-22 overs and when the team will be in a must, he will try to work more.”

Siraj took a lot of wickets in the last Test series in England

The Indian team visited England in the year 2021-22. The Indian team played a five -match Test series against England during this period. In this series, Siraj was the highest wicket for India after Bumrah. Bumrah took 23 wickets in 5 matches. At the same time, Siraj took 18 wickets in 5 matches at an average of 33. Siraj’s bowling strike rate was around 52 in this series. Team India will be expected to perform even more increase from Siraj from last time.
