Today i.e. on 10th May, the best match of the Indian Premier League 2022 will be played between Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. It is very important for both the teams to win this match. However, before this match, former Indian player Akash Chopra has given a big statement about the Gujarat Titans team. According to Aakash Chopra, Gujarat has suffered a big blow due to the unavailability of Hardik Pandya and Mohammed Shami.

Let us tell you, before the start of Indian Premier League 2024, Hardik Pandya had joined Mumbai Indians team while Mohammed Shami could not participate in this tournament due to injury. Gujarat Titans have so far played 11 matches in IPL 2024 in which they have won 4 while they have lost 7. Gujarat has eight points and the team is at the last position in the points table of IPL 2024.

While sharing a video on his official YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, ‘The condition of Gujarat team is very bad at the moment. To tell the truth, he has not played good cricket at all. If you had won many matches then it was correct. You won the 2022 trophy. You made it to the finals in 2023 but your performance in the third year was very poor.

You remember Hardik as a captain and as a batsman. Not only this, Shami’s bowling also. You cannot fill those spaces properly. Your team’s performance this season has been very poor. One of the main reasons behind this is that Shubman Gill has come under a lot of pressure as a batsman and captain.

Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Gill

Regarding Gujarat Titans captain Shubhman Gill, Aakash Chopra said, ‘He had made a very good start as a batsman but his form has been very bad for some time now. Last year he did wonders but this season he has failed to leave his mark. There are many reasons behind this. The pressure of captaincy is also on him and that is why a lot of difference has been seen in his game. There has also been a decline in his game.

Had Gill not made any changes in his batting technique, his performance would have been quite good. But form keeps coming and going and our Gill has class so he should stay focused.
