Ashish Nehra’s angry reaction after being overthrown Gujarat Titans head coach Ashish Nehra was left visibly frustrated after a costly overthrow during Delhi Capitals’ thrilling chase that ultimately saw GT claim a narrow one-run victory at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. At one stage when KL Rahul was in the crease, the match seemed to be firmly in Delhi Capitals’ control. However, a crucial moment in the 15th overturn turned the tide and provoked a strong reaction from the GT cabin.During the 15th over, bowled by Ashok Sharma, a well-executed yorker was bowled by Tristan Stubbs to the left of the bowler. Ashok managed to get a hand to the ball but failed to stop it cleanly, allowing the batsmen to attempt a quick single. Shubman Gill quickly collected the ball and sent a direct hit to the striker. Although KL Rahul came through, a deflection off the stumps resulted in the ball racing to the boundary, gifting Delhi Capitals with four more runs, turning one into five.The incident visibly angered Ashish Nehru, who was seen reacting sharply from the sidelines. His animated response quickly went viral on social media, highlighting the importance of small moments in a close fight. With the game hanging in the balance, such lapses in field awareness, especially the absence of a proper backup, could have made a huge difference to Gujarat Titans’ result.
