Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals, Qualifier 2:Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals are going to clash in the second qualifier of IPL. The first and perhaps the biggest challenge before Gujarat Titans in this match is how to dispose of Vaibhav Suryavanshi cheaply. Gujarat Titans’ assistant coach Parthiv Patel has said something important on this issue. Parthiv Patel told that he has made some plans for Vaibhav Suryavanshi, which will be revealed on the field itself. Titans believed that it was necessary to get Suryavanshi out quickly otherwise they could change the course of the match.
What did Parthiv Patel say on Vaibhav Suryavanshi?
Gujarat Titans players saw Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s batting against Sunrisers Hyderabad and now this team is cautious of him. Parthiv told that the team is also ready. Parthiv Patel said that he will reveal his cards on the field itself. He said, ‘I am not a broadcaster so I will not be able to reveal my plans. I am very excited to see his batting. Hopefully we will be able to get him out early in the match and execute our plans. What is the real thing, you will digest it on the field itself. Let us tell you that Gujarat Titans did not bowl short balls to Vaibhav Suryavanshi in the last match. Siraj had dismissed him.
‘Vaibhav’s age should not be discussed’
Parthiv Patel termed the discussion on Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s age as meaningless. He said, ‘People are liking the way Vaibhav is batting. We should not talk about their age. I think it is necessary to stop this. He has amazing talent, from the opposition team we only hope that he is not able to score too many runs.
What will be the strategy of Gujarat’s batsmen?
Gujarat batsmen were failing against RCB. Batsmen like Shubhman Gill, Sai Sudarshan, Jos Buttler could not play good innings due to which Gujarat lost. However, Parthiv Patel said that Gujarat does not need any change in the team and the way of playing. He would not like to pay too much attention to the defeat against RCB in the first qualifier. Parthiv said that other teams can think whatever they want but we were second in the points table. We know what kind of cricket we want to play. GT has qualified for the playoffs four out of five times, and has also won the IPL once. Parthiv said that Gujarat will play cricket in its own style.
