Glenn Phillips slams reporter’s question on GT’s mentality after RCB’s 254 score

Glenn Phillips slams reporter’s question on GT’s mentality after RCB’s 254 score

3 min readMay 27, 2026 09:02 AM IST Gujarat Titans all-rounder Glenn Phillips was entrusted with facing the media after his team’s harrowing defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru, despite not featuring in the high-stakes contest at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala on Tuesday night. The Kiwi star had to confront a variety of questions, of which a particular query left him fuming. When quizzed if RCB’s Playoffs record score of 254 for five had already left the Gujarat players resigned back in the dressing room during the mid-innings break, Phillips gave a sharp retort to the reporter, striking down the question as “silly and terrible”. Gujarat’s stacked bowling attack was buried under a mountain of runs piled on by Rajat Patidar’s unbeaten 93 and a string of strong cameos from Krunal Pandya, Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal. “That’s a silly question. That is a really silly question. No one goes in there waiting to go, ‘Oh, you know what? We’re just going to give up on this one.’ Why would we do that as professional …

Ashish Nehra: ‘Don’t think there’s need for Gujarat Titans to think differently this season in IPL’ | Ipl News

3 min readMar 25, 2026 12:40 AM IST Having won the Indian Premier League title in their first season itself in the league, the Gujarat Titans are still searching for title no 2 three years since. They came close to a repeat in 2023, but lost in the final. Ahead of the IPL 2026 season, head coach Ashish Nehra has said that the team does not need to “think differently”. “I don’t think there’s a need to think differently this season. In fact, I don’t have to think, the players do. They have to think. They have to play; I’m sitting outside,” Nehra said at the franchise’s Shubharambh 2026 event on Tuesday, highlighting the team’s trust in players and their decision-making. Reinforcing the team’s mindset, Gujarat coach Nehra added, “From day one, our mindset has been clear, we are not here to participate, we are here to compete and win. For a new team, it’s easy to think it might take time, but that was never our approach.” Nehra’s confidence in his Gujarat team stems …

‘Hardik Pandya roz Paro change karta hai’: Ashish Nehra takes a playful dig at cricketer’s love life | Bollywood News

3 min readChennaiUpdated: Feb 9, 2026 01:39 PM IST Hardik Pandya has remained in the news for his personal life as much as for his victories on the cricket field. The cricketer was married to model Natasa Stankovic. However, the two got divorced, after which the cricketer was linked to Jasmin Walia, before he made his relationship with Mahieka Sharma official. Recently, former cricketer Ashish Nehra took a playful dig at Hardik over the same. Ashish Nehra and Rushma Nehra recently appeared with Geeta Basra and Harbhajan Singh on the podcast Who’s The Boss? During the interaction, the couples played a game in which Harbhajan Singh and Ashish Nehra had to relate a film’s name to a cricketer. When given the name of the film ‘Khiladi Number One’, Ashish said, “Harbhajan was Khiladi Number One in the department of girls before marriage.” To this, Geeta reacted, saying, “This even I know that he is not Khiladi Number One off the field.” Harbhajan then shared another instance when Ashish went wild while partying at a club …

‘Bahut mushkil hogi’: Gujarat Titans head coach Ashish Nehra says Shubman Gill’s form must not be judged by 2-3 T20Is | Cricket News

Despite his prolonged lull since a return to the T20I fold as India’s vice captain and opening partner to Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill has found backing from his IPL head coach, Ashish Nehra. The Gujarat Titans head coach has reacted to Gill’s poor start to the South Africa series, where he was dismissed twice in three deliveries. Gill fell for 4 off two deliveries in the series opener in Cuttack and was dismissed for a golden duck by Lungi Ngidi in Mullanpur on Thursday. Nehra said backed his Gujarat skipper, insisting that the 26-year-old could not be evaluated on the back of a few poor outings. “Look, the player you are talking about. If IPL was 3 weeks away, I wouldn’t be worried. Because you are talking about T20 format. And there are only 2 matches played with South Africa. If I am not wrong. And this is our problem. In such a fast-paced format, whether it is international cricket or IPL, if we start evaluating players like Gill after two-three matches, then it will …

GT’s Ishant Sharma Reveals How Ashish Nehra Made Pacers Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna More Effective

GT’s Ishant Sharma Reveals How Ashish Nehra Made Pacers Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna More Effective

Making Mohammed Siraj trust his outswinger a little more while getting Prasidh Krishna to bring his length a little ahead are the changes which Gujarat Titans’ head coach Ashish Nehra has brought about in the two pacers, which in turn has made them more effective bowlers, revealed veteran pacer Ishant Sharma. “Ashish bhai didn’t change much in his bowling. The only change he made was that sometimes, Siraj didn’t feel very confident in his outswing. But this is the only difference in a good coach, especially if that coach has bowled in international cricket.” “So he has that experience, and he always said to him, ‘Trust your outswinger. That is your stock ball’. He used to bowl with a wobble-seam – it would come in after the ball hit the seam. So he used to bowl it a lot earlier, and he stopped bowling his outswinger.” “So, Ashish bhai said, ‘No, your first ball will be an outswing. When this ball stops swinging, you will go for that ball (wobble-seam ball). So he …

Mohammed Siraj “Has Something To Prove”: GT Director Of Cricket Reveals How Ashish Nehra Is Guiding India Star

Mohammed Siraj “Has Something To Prove”: GT Director Of Cricket Reveals How Ashish Nehra Is Guiding India Star

Gujarat Titans director of cricket Vikram Solanki has been left impressed with Shubman Gill‘s captaincy and pace spearhead Mohammed Siraj’s work rate in the ongoing 18th edition of the Indian Premier League. Gujarat Titans lifted the IPL trophy in their maiden season in 2022 under the leadership of Hardik Pandya. They followed it up by reaching the final in 2023 and then went through a transition phase after Gill took over the leadership role from Pandya, who returned to his previous home, Mumbai Indians. Under Gill’s debut captaincy stint, GT finished eighth in the last edition with just five wins in 14 games. But this time around, GT has claimed as many wins with seven games into the season. While Solanki believes Gill still has a lot to learn as a captain, he feels he has grown into the role. “The connections that he’s formed with his bowling group – we saw that last year, actually. He’s grown into the role from one game to the next. He’s sort of developing as a captain – …

“Ahead Of Jonty Rhodes”: Ashish Nehra Picks India Star As Best Fielder ‘Then And Now’

“Ahead Of Jonty Rhodes”: Ashish Nehra Picks India Star As Best Fielder ‘Then And Now’

The IPL 2025 is in full swing. While batters and bowlers have given some terrific performance, the fielders too have been quite athletic on the field.  There have been some terrific catches while some of the run outs (especially MS Dhoni’s run out of Abdul Samad in a match against Lucknow Super Giants) have been quite electric. Ahead of the match between Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals, coach Ashish Nehra was asked about the best fielder according to him. “Ravindra Jadeja”, Nehra replied. The anchor then asked: “Then and now?” “I have seen a lot of big fielders, some are good in the outfield, some inside, like Jonty Rhodes, he is the best inside the circle. If you speak about all-round fielding, AB de Villiers’ name comes in, but even Andrew Symonds and Jadeja. But, I would put Jadeja ahead of them. It’s not because of his age. When he came in 2008-09 and now, he is still the same. It is his fitness, I don’t know what he eats. If he is …
