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 …

We may want to back our pace bowlers more over the spin: GT’s Glenn Phillips | Cricket News

3 min readApr 17, 2026 12:03 AM IST Gujarat Titans batter Glenn Phillips said his side, back on track after early setbacks this IPL season, is banking on its pacers to deliver at home as it targets a third successive win, against struggling Kolkata Knight Riders, here on Friday. Gujarat Titans made a poor start, losing their first two games, but have since found their rhythm with back-to-back wins and will be eyeing a third against KKR, who are languishing at the bottom with four defeats. “We’ve got a very fast pace attack and maybe KKR, for example, have an incredible spin attack with (Sunil) Narine and (Varun) Chakravarthy and obviously (Anukul) Roy is bombing very well,” said Phillips during a media interaction on Thursday. “We may want to back our pace bowlers more over the spin and let our batters who are really good at playing pace face their (KKR) pace bowlers,” said the New Zealander. With most matches this season turning into a high-scoring affair, with totals regularly crossing 200 and even 250, …

Inside Glenn Phillips’ art of the impossible catch: ‘I enjoy being in the air’ | Cricket News

Glenn Phillips remembers the catches he had spilled more than the ones he had pouched. “Sometimes you remember the ones that you drop a little bit more than the great ones,” he tells The Indian Express. He dusts up memories of the worst catch he had dropped. “There was one in the Caribbean League when I was younger. It was a pretty dolly catch out on the boundary. I got my hands up, it slid straight through,” he says, with a chuckle. Self-deprecatory jokes apart, he dwells on his three favourites. He rattles out the instances rather than being in a dilemma to pick from his album of spectacular catches. There are all sorts: gravity-defying, bone-bending, fence-trimmers, diving backwards, sideways, forward. He is a one-man catching manual, arguably the greatest when factoring in his mastery of fielding and catching in different ones. “The one that I keep close to my heart? The Marcus Stoinis one in the T20 World Cup in Australia.” Stoinis lofted left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner over cover. The shot was not lusty …

India’s Bumrah ‘Still Human’, says Glenn Phillips Ahead of T20 World Cup Final

Defending Champions India and New Zealand are set to face off against each other in the summit clash of the T20 World Cup 2026.

T20 World Cup 2026: Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra outshine Yuvraj Singh Samra’s 110 to seal New Zealand’s Super 8 berth | Cricket News

Bouncing back from their defeat to South Africa, New Zealand sealed their Super 8 spot, but to do so, they had to overcome an impressive century from Canada opener Yuvraj Singh Samra. Although Canada eventually lost their fizz, the 19-year-old Samra owned the day at Chepauk, where, during the course of his 110, he became the youngest ever batter to score a century in World Cups. His hundred was also the first by a batsman from an Associate nation, which keeps throwing up new stories. For a brief while, when New Zealand found themselves 30/2 in the chase of 174, Afghanistan would have watched it with plenty of interest. However, Glenn Phillips (76 off 36) and Rachin Ravindra (59 off 39) took them out of the hole and put them into the Super 8’s phase with unbeaten fifties. Their innings, though, was overshadowed by that of Samra, the lone player born and raised in Canada who is part of this squad. Born to parents with Indian roots, his father, Baljit Samra, had named him after …

The many altitudes of Glenn Phillips

The many altitudes of Glenn Phillips

When Glenn Phillips is not flying on the ground, swooping on an airborne leather ball with a sudden flow of energy, he will be soaring in the sky, saddled in a cockpit, manoeuvring an aircraft several feet off the ground, shouting aviation jargon. Phillips’s dream was to get a pilot’s licence. “If I were a rich man and not playing cricket, I would have become a pilot,” he once revealed in an NZC podcast. He was on the verge of fulfilling his dream, first sparked when he flew to Melbourne as a nine-year-old in 2015. But the prescription drugs for the ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), a condition he had suffered from since childhood, were considered addictive substances. Hence, he was denied the dream on medical grounds. But last September, when nursing a groin injury, he finally realised the dream. He said with a glee on Sunday: “Sometimes, it (the injury) is a little bit of a blessing in disguise. I got my pilot’s licence (during the time),” he said. The process was tough. He …

Need a bit of luck while bowling to Abhishek Sharma: Glenn Phillips | Cricket News

Another match-winning knock from Abhishek Sharma’s bat, striking 84 from 35 balls as India defeated New Zealand in the first T20I in Nagpur on Wednesday, just went to prove further that the 25-year-old is in the form of his life. Bowling to a batter that is seeing the ball so sharply and striking it so well, requires a bit of fortune, Kiwis all-rounder Glenn Phillips confessed. “He’s been doing it to some of the fastest bowlers in the world in the IPL too. When a guy is in form like that, you just want to put the ball in the best areas you possibly can and hope he makes a mistake too,” he told reporters on Wednesday. “Obviously you have your plans and you try to meet them to the best of your ability. But sometimes, in this situation, you need a bit of luck too.” Phillips’ own hefty contribution with the bat went under the radar in Nagpur. He’s scored 78 from 40 balls to keep the Kiwis in the hunt. The loss aside, …
