GT vs PBKS: Gujarat Titans Are Not Over-Reliant On Any One Player – Imran Tahir

South Africa spinner Imran Tahir heaped praise on Gujarat Titans for dominating the IPL 2022 with complete team efforts.

The IPL debutants led by all-rounder Hardik Pandya are leading the charts with eight wins from nine games.

Gujrat Titans lead the table in IPL 2022

Gujarat Titans have different match-winners in each game like Rahul Tewatia smashing two sixes on the last two deliveries against Odean Smith. Rashid Khan supporting David Miller to pull off a spectacular run chase against Chennai Super Kings.

Rashid also stood tall in the crunch situation when Titans needed 15 runs in four balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The Afghanistan star clobbered three sixes off Marco Jansen to pull off another heist.

Lockie Ferguson’s 4/28 against Delhi Capitals and Mohammed Shami’s incredible 3/25 in their opening game against LSG were some exceptional performances.

Gujarat Titans have done it as a team: Imran Tahir

Tahir noted that Gujarat Titans have the best combination in the IPL 2022 and the team doesn’t rely on any particular individual.

“When the IPL started, hardly anybody expected them to beat experienced teams and from challenging situations. To achieve it so quickly and reaching the playoffs stage in their first year of participation, is a massive feat,” Tahir told ESPNCricinfo.

“I think it’s their consistency and you can’t take any side for granted. Now, if any team’s combination clicks, they end up on the winning side and I feel that’s what has worked for the Gujarat Titans.

“Whatever matches they have won so far, they have done it as a team. The most special thing about the Titans is they are not over-reliant on anyone and their player of the matches have been different.

“I feel the captain and team management don’t have much to worry about when they have so many match-winners because they know any player can step up in a given situation. They have proved it which is why they are successful,” he added.

Gujarat Titans will lock horns with  Punjab Kings on Tuesday at the Dr. DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai.
