Gujarat Titans loaded with the top finishers in their team

IPL 2022: Gujarat Titans, chasing glory

Around the halfway point in the stage of league play Indian Premier League 2022, Gujarat Titans won the toss and decided to go for it first, despite chasing being the most popular strategy used by every team up to that point.

Gujarat took the win in that game in the match against Kolkata Knight Riders and a few weeks later, they chose to bat again first and this time, in a crucial game against the other contenders, Lucknow Super Giants. The captain at the toss Hardik Pandya declared that the game plan was easy the team wanted to test the amount of runs that they can make and also protect themselves. They were able to beat the match also by 62 runs or less.

On paper the Titans do not have the most powerful or even the longest the batting order. What they do possess is an abundance of power. This is why they have the confidence they’ve displayed throughout the entire season. They were able to go against the standard approach and challenge themselves by first batting, since they knew the kind of bat they could use if being asked to go after. This is where confidence comes from.

Gujarat Titans have won seven games chasing this season.

Five times, they’ve won by scoring 11 runs or more required in the final over. For three times out of the matches, they required 16 or more runs in the final over. In all three matches ended with back-to-back sixes.

To put things into perspective To put things in perspective Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings both of the best teams of IPL history, have won only four games each in this season. In contrast, Gujarat Titans won three matches that had 16 or more runs required in the final over. This is the kind of performance that’s helped them stay at the top of the table.

In the match against Punjab Kings

The Titans required 19 runs from the final over before the score was reduced to 12 runs from two deliveries. Rahul Tewatia once more stood cool under pressure and crushed PBKS hearts by striking successive sixes to aid in helping GT get a well-known victory.

For Sunrisers Hyderabad at home, it was Rashid Khan’s turn make his old team suffer. Gujarat required an incredible 22 runs from the final over, and Tewatia began the game with the six. Was that what Rashid do the next time? He ran 6 0 6 6, 6, 6 to seal the victory. It was an awe-inspiring chase, as Khan’s talent determination, determination and stunning wrists were the main attraction.

In contrast to Rajasthan Royals in the all-important Qualifier 1. Gujarat had to settle for just 16 runs to finish the last ball. Pandya along with David Miller had put up an impressive team, however they were slow during the middle overs, and from afar they might have left it too late. They clearly knew what they were doing when Miller struck an hat-trick of sixes to win the match with three balls left.

He added: “The only conversation I had with Miller was to respect the game. We’d made a mistake in the last game against Mumbai Indians in the last league stage. I was determined to get the job done this time. In the event that we fail, that’s acceptable. We just have to remember the essentials and are respectful of the game. We are ready to take on any challenge when the chance arises However, we also ensure that we don’t abandon the game to others. I wanted to make sure both of us would finish the game. This was the only conversation we had.”

Another time, Gujarat perhaps don’t have the most appealing and destructive cricket lineup on paper. This is the reason they were not regarded players in the playoffs at the beginning in the year. However, they stand out because they’re balanced and are loaded with the top finishers. In a dynamic game, this could be an indication of the future where teams prepare themselves for all-out assaults towards the end of an innings.

Gujarat Titans potentially have four players who have finished their season.

Wriddhiman Saha can provide fireworks, Shubman Gill offers stability as well as Matthew Wade tends to be more aggressive. Pandya has made himself a higher priority in the batting order, and has demonstrated great tactical flexibility the bat, using anchors and finisher when required. Then there’s Miller (strike-rate at 141.19 in this year’s season) Tewatia (147.61) and Khan (206.81). After the bankable Top three finish, Gujarat potentially have four players who have finished their season.

In the event of Rajasthan Royals making the final game, the Titans are set to face another tough challenge against a plethora of bowling attack. They will play in Ahmedabad which is their home for the long haul ground at first. If the conditions favor speed yet again, it’ll increase the challenges GT will have to face. However, we can anticipate Pandya and Co to once show the confidence and calm they’ve displayed already displayed. They’re aware of their powerful punch later in the innings, regardless of whether the opening isn’t going their way.

Gujarat Titans are chasing the title in their inaugural season and it’s been an amazing chase thus far.
