Gujarat Titans will be eager to move on from their underwhelming batting display when they take on an inconsistent Rajasthan Royals, which will challenge the Hardik Pandya-led side for the top spot in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 in Jaipur on Friday. Ahead of the clash at SMS Stadium, GT’s senior middle-order batter David Miller has heaped praises on skipper Pandya and stated he feels the team has ‘picked up really well this season’.
Talking about the miserable defeat against RR, Miller stated that the Titans do not approach any game lightly, and Friday’s game is no exception. “Royals are a very strong unit and I feel in the IPL every competitor is very strong, so you have to play your ‘A’ game every time you step out on the field,” he said.
Gujarat Titans are perched atop the points table with 12 points despite their five-run loss to wooden spooners Delhi Capitals, while the Royals are on the fourth spot and have 10 points.
“He Is A Born Leader And Has Matured A Lot Over The Years”- David Miller On Hardik Pandya
Miller and Hardik Pandya have forged some special memories over the last one year with Gujarat Titans. The Proteas batter revealed the best qualities of Pandya as a skipper.
Lauding Hardik Pandya’s captaincy, the swashbuckling South African batter added, “It has been a really cool journey with him and I have learned a lot. He has got a lot of authority. He is a born leader and has matured a lot over the years. You feel calm, relaxed and motivated under him. He knows well how to get the best out of the guys and I really enjoy that side of him.”
The Gujarat Titans will be in action on Friday at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. In their upcoming IPL 2023 reverse encounter, the top-ranked Gujarat Titans will play against the Rajasthan Royals. Both clubs will be keen to win after losing their previous games.
