Ashish Nehra (Photo Source: Getty Images) Gujarat Titans had already won the trophy in season 2022 under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya, while the team became runner-up in the next season. But like the first two seasons, the franchise could not do anything special in IPL 2024. Gujarat’s performance under the captaincy of Shubman Gill was disappointing. The team won 5 out of 14 matches and finished 8th in the points table. At this time, a big report is coming out that the franchise owner CVC Capitals may change their coaching staff before the IPL 2025 mega auction, in such a situation Ashish Nehra can be removed from the post of head coach. The franchise does not want Ashish Nehra as the head coach According to a Cricbuzz report, the Gujarat Titans management is considering changing the coaching staff for the upcoming IPL season. This staff includes Vikram Solanki (Director of Cricket), Ashish Nehra (Head Coach) and Gary Kirsten as mentor and batting coach during the first three seasons of the team. Let us tell you, Gary Kirsten is the white-ball coach of Pakistan, so he cannot continue as the mentor of Gujarat Titans.

There will be a big change in the management of Gujarat Titans Let us tell you, there have been reports for a long time that there may be a change in the management of Gujarat Titans. According to reports, the ownership of the team can go from CVC to either Torrent Pharma or Adani Group. However, we will have to wait till February for official information.

The IPL 2025 auction is expected to be held in December.
“You are not a foreign coach who…” Ashish Nehra got angry at Gautam Gambhir! Raised questions about Rohit-Kohli
Gambhir’s experiment, which included changing the Indian batting order twice and trying out a left-right combination, has been criticised. Gautam Gambhir and Ashish Nehra Source The Indian team has suffered a setback in the ODI series between India and Sri Lanka. While the first ODI was tied, the Indian team lost to Sri Lanka by 32 runs in the second ODI. Due to this, the Indian team is forced to level the series by winning the last ODI match. The reason for this is believed to be the poor results of coach Gautam Gambhir. Gambhir’s experiments, which claimed to try a left-right combination with two changes in the Indian batting order, have been criticized. Due to this, some opinions have also been raised that the Indian team has no chance of winning the Champions Trophy series. Ashish Nehra raised questions on Gautam Gambhir’s coaching Ashish Nehra, a former teammate of captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Gautam Gambhir, was asked the same question after Sri Lanka took a crucial 1-0 lead. He did not give a direct answer but criticised Gambhir for focusing on Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma while he could have tried new players in the series. According to the report, the senior batsmen made themselves available for the series after Gambhir’s request. India’s current Sri Lanka tour is Gambhir’s first tour as India’s head coach, and he wanted to spend time with Kohli and Rohit to understand the team. Nehra said Gambhir should have waited as he was not new to the two star players, and instead should have tried out other players and tested India’s bench strength. Ashish Nehra said on Sony Sports- “India’s next series is after 2-3 months, which is a rare thing for us. So for players like Rohit and Kohli…I think there was a better chance to give opportunities to other players during this series. I know Gambhir is the new coach and he wants to spend some time with the experienced players, but it’s not like he doesn’t know both of them.” “He is not a foreign coach who wants to get his equation right with Kohli and Rohit. So it was a good opportunity for him to try out new players and Rohit and Kohli could play when the domestic season starts. I am not saying it is the wrong way, but it could have been one of the strategies in this series.” Riyan Parag, Rishabh Pant, Harshit Rana and Khaleel Ahmed have not played in either of the two ODIs and it will be interesting to see if India make changes to their playing XI for the third and final ODI. Usually, teams try out their bench strength after sealing the series with an unassailable lead.
VIDEO: Ashish Nehra made fun of Jaiswal, said if Virat-Rohit were here then you would still be in the nets…
Yashasvi Jaiswal (Pic Source-X) India started the series in a great way by defeating host Sri Lanka by 43 runs in the first T20 International match at Pallekele on Saturday. Batting first, the Indian batsmen scored more than 200 and put the home team under pressure. But after the match, Ashish Nehra said something about Yashasvi Jaiswal that even Yashasvi Jaiswal was surprised to hear. Now its video is going viral on social media, in which Yashasvi is seen just smiling on Ashish Nehra’s question. Actually, after the first match of the three-match T20 series being played between India and Sri Lanka, Ashish Nehra made fun of Yashasvi. In the viral video, it can be seen that there was a conversation between former Indian cricketer Ajay Jadeja and him regarding the match. Then Yashasvi Jaiswal joined the field through video call and Ajay Jadeja asked what difference does it make when Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are on the field? Before Yashasvi could answer this question, Nehra jumped in and laughingly said that as Jadeja asked what difference does it make when Rohit-Virat are on the field… so I think whatever strokes I have seen of yours, you would have had to play them in the nets. As soon as Nehra said this, Jaiswal also started laughing. Nehraji never disappoints. PS When we see fierce batting, @YUVSTRONG12 is always on our mind 🔥🔥#SonySportsNetwork #SLvIND #AshishNehra , @ybj_19 pic.twitter.com/y1gAo1RmiT — Sony Sports Network (@SonySportsNetwk) July 27, 2024 In this match, the pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal (40) and Shubman Gill (34) gave a stormy start to Team India, batting first, adding 74 runs in the first 6 overs. After this, captain Suryakumar Yadav wreaked havoc and scored 58 runs in 26 balls. India put 213 runs on the board for the loss of 7 wickets in the stipulated 20 overs. The Sri Lankan team, chasing the target of 214 runs, got a stormy start from the opening pair of Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis (45) and added 84 runs for the first wicket. But after the dismissal of both the batsmen, the Sri Lankan team kept losing wickets at regular intervals. In the end, the host team collapsed for 170 runs in 19.2 overs. For India, Riyan Parag took three wickets for five runs in 1.2 overs. Arshdeep Singh and Axar Patel took two wickets each.
“I am not surprised…”- Ashish Nehra said on Hardik Pandya not getting the captaincy

(Photo Source: Getty Images) Former India fast bowler and Gujarat Titans head coach Ashish Nehra said that he is not surprised by the Indian team management’s decision not to appoint Hardik Pandya as the new T20 captain. Nehra said that he understands the thinking of chief selector Ajit Agarkar and newly appointed coach Gautam Gambhir in choosing Suryakumar Yadav as the new T20 captain. Hardik Pandya, who will lead India in T20 in 2023, was Rohit Sharma’s deputy in the victorious World Cup campaign in the USA and West Indies in June. While Hardik was expected to replace Rohit as T20 captain, later after Rohit’s retirement from T20, the BCCI announced Suryakumar as the new T20 captain for the upcoming three-match series in Sri Lanka. Ashish Nehra is not surprised by Hardik Pandya not being made captain Regarding Hardik not being made the captain, Ashish Nehra said, “No, I am not surprised. When it comes to cricket, such things keep happening. Yes, Hardik Pandya was the vice-captain in the World Cup, but at the same time, a new coach has also come. Every coach and every captain has different ideas. At this time, his (Gambhir’s) ideas are in the same direction.” The former Indian fast bowler further said, “I think Ajit Agarkar and Gautam Gambhir have made it clear, it is good. He is a format game There have been fewer ODIs game Hardik Pandya will continue to be a very important player for Indian cricket in white-ball cricket. When you have him, you can have 4 fast bowlers. He brings a different balance to the team and keep in mind, there is no more dominant player in international cricket. Not just Hardik Pandya, but when you have so many matches, there are changes. Even Rishabh Pant has captained, KL Rahul has also captained.

(Photo Source: Getty Images) Gujarat Titans head coach Ashish Nehra has revealed that he has signed a contract for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season. Did not try to convince Hardik Pandya to remain with the Ahmedabad franchise. Under the captaincy of Hardik, Gujarat Titans team won the title in the first season itself. Last year the team had made it to the finals, where Chennai Super Kings defeated the team. Meanwhile, speaking about his good stint with Gujarat Titans, Nehra expressed his sentiments that he could have tried to keep Pandya in the team, but he did not do so. Quoting Hindustan Times, Ashish Nehra said that, I never tried to convince Hardik to remain in the team. The more you play, the more experience you get. If he had gone to any other team, I would have stopped him. He played here for two years, but he was going back to a team for which he played for 5-6 years.” Gujarat Titans will miss Hardik Pandya – Ashish Nehra Nehra also admitted that the Gujarat team will definitely miss Hardik Pandya. But he also said that this will be a big chance and opportunity for other players. Nehra said, “In any game, you have to move forward. You can’t buy experience and it won’t be easy to replace someone like Hardik Pandya or (injured) Mohammed Shami. But this is a learning curve and that is how the team moves forward.” The former bowler finally said, “Before Hardik Pandya joined Gujarat Titans, he had no experience of captaining any team. 10 teams play in IPL and you will get to see new captains. Shreyas Iyer and even Nitish Rana captained Kolkata Knight Riders. It remains to be seen which player steps forward as captain. As a captain I want to see how he works and not just me, the whole of India wants to see that because that’s the kind of player he is.”
