'You Have To Acknowledge Nehra's Influence On GT Bowlers': Bangar
Narendra Modi Stadium: Former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar believes that head coach Ashish Nehra deserves far more credit for transforming the Gujarat Titans (GT) into one of the most formidable bowling units in IPL 2026, saying the head coach consistently gets the best out of his fast bowlers.
Bangar’s remarks came after the Gujarat Titans climbed to the top of the points table with a massive 82-run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Tuesday. GT’s pace attack once again starred, with Kagiso Rabada returning figures of 3-28 and Jason Holder claiming 3-20 as SRH were bowled out for just 86 while chasing 168.
“I think you have to acknowledge the influence of Ashish Nehra on the bowlers that play under him. There have been multiple bowlers like Siraj, who did play under him at the start of his career in 2017-18. At that time, he wasn’t the Mohammed Siraj that he is today. But him enjoying this stint with GT, Kagiso Rabada as well,” Bangar told ESPNcricinfo.
