The team has performed brilliantly under the leadership of Gujarat Titans head coach Ashish Nehra. The Gujarat team emerged in the IPL in the year 2022. Under the efficient policy of head coach Ashish Nehra and the captaincy of Hardik Pandya, it succeeded in becoming the champion in the very first season. Cricket experts believe that Ashish Nehra has a hand behind this.
Because he chooses a good team in the auction. This time too, fans are considering the purchase of veteran player Glenn Phillips as their best buy. Gujarat Titans bought this Kiwi player at the base price in accelerated bidding. Earlier, Glenn Phillips was a part of Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2023.
Glenn Phillips can prove to be a trump card for Gujarat:
Glenn Phillips is known for his amazing bowling and batting skills. His fielding is always top-class. There is no corner during the match where Glenn Phillips cannot be seen running after the ball. In IPL 2025, Glenn Phillips will be seen playing with the new team Gujarat. The franchise can use him as a finisher. Because, in the end, he is known for scoring runs in less balls. While he also has the power to take wickets in bowling.
The sample size of Glenn Phillips in IPL is still very small. He made his debut in the year 2021. He got a chance to play in 8 matches. During this, he could score only 65 runs. It is worth noting that his strike rate has been around 120. If the team shows confidence in him under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, then he can prove to be a blockbuster for the team in the 18th season.
