Glenn Phillips Angry In Press Conference: Last Tuesday (May 26), Gujarat Titans lost by 92 runs against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the first qualifier of IPL 2026. However, the team still has one more chance to go to the finals. Now in Qualifier-2, Gujarat will face the team that wins the Eliminator. But after the defeat, Gujarat all-rounder Glenn Phillips caught everyone’s attention in the press conference.

New Zealand’s Glenn Phillips got furious over a question. Phillips came for the press conference after Gujarat’s defeat in Qualifier-1. The thing to note is that Phillips was not even included in the 12 players of the team. He was asked a question on which he got very angry.

Glenn Phillips got angry on which question?

Let us tell you that while batting first in the match, Bengaluru had put 254 runs on the board for 5 wickets in 20 overs. This was the biggest total in the history of the playoff stage. In reply, Gujarat was all out for 162 runs. Regarding Bengaluru’s big total, Phillips was asked whether his team had mentally given up after seeing the big total visible on the board?

Phillips got angry at this question. He replied, “This is a stupid question. Why would we do this as professional cricketers? This is a very poor question. We had given everything as soon as we came on the field. While chasing the target of 250, everything should be in your favor. We came on the field with the hope that everything would be fine, but it could not happen.”

How will a big defeat be beneficial? Phillips said

In PC, Phillips also explained how a big defeat would be beneficial for the team. He had said that if the team had lost by a margin of 1 or 2 runs, we would have kept thinking about it, wishing this or that had happened, but when you are not even around, you say that today was not our day. This does not mean that we will not have our day in the next match also.
