The director of the cricket Vikram Solandki Gujarat Titans dealt with the impact of the upcoming departure of Jos Buttler for the national obligation before the Play -off IPL 2025.
Buttler is set to connect to the English Odi and T20i series against West India, scheduled from May 29 to June 10, and exclude it from the decisive phase of play -off.
Speak after GT’S 83-RUN defeat Chennai Super Kings (CSK) At the Narendra Modi stadium on Sunday, May 25, Solandki stressed that cricket is a team sport and Titani is not relying on any player.
“It is not available for the Play -OFF. So we will come close to the game as a team. They are not one individual or three individuals, as you still remind me – they had a good season,” Solandki said at a press conference after the match.
“I am glad that the highest order scored most of the runs. That’s a good thing. Yes, that is, the middle order sometimes had no opportunity to bat. But when they played, I think they really gave a good account.”
In Buttler’s absence, Gujarat brought Kusal Mendis as a substitute for Sri Lankan dough.
Solandki also accumulated praise on Shahrukh Khan and Sherfane Rutherford for throwing himself with practical knocks during the tournament. Shahrukh scored 57 runs against Lucknow Super Giants 22. May, although GT lost 33 runs.
“Shahrukh Khan played beautifully in the last game. Sherfane Rutherford showed the views of the tournament where he was able to accelerate when we needed him.”
“So it’s a little double sword, isn’t it? When your highest order is running, the middle order doesn’t have many opportunities. But when they get a chance, you can’t suddenly expect winning shifts every time,” Solandki added.
Despite the defeat of CSK, the titani is placed on top of the table with 18 points and a net speed of +0.254. However, they are in danger of losing their best place in the table with the Indians Bombai (Mi), Kings Pandjab (PBK) and Royal Challengers Bengalur (RCB), who breathe from the necks.
