Former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar commended West Indies great Jason Holder for his valuable all-round performance, labeling him a significant asset to the Gujarat Titans (GT) following their triumph over the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at Narendra Modi Stadium.
Gujarat Titans successfully chased down 156 runs in just 15.5 overs, propelled by a quickfire 43 off 18 balls by captain Shubman Gill, supported by Jos Buttler’s 39 and Rahul Tewatia’s unbeaten 27.
In the match, GT’s bowlers, including Arshad Khan with three wickets, and Holder and Rashid Khan with two each, restricted RCB to 155 runs in 19.2 overs, effectively controlling the opposition’s scoring.
Bangar highlighted Holder’s strategic acumen and adaptability on the field, emphasizing his experience in leadership and game-finishing abilities, which significantly benefit the GT squad.
Former New Zealand cricketer Mitchell McClenaghan lauded GT’s aggressive approach in the chase, particularly praising Gill’s proactive captaincy against bowlers like Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood, leading to a strong start and eventual victory.
With this win, Gujarat Titans solidified their position in the standings with 10 points from five matches, gearing up to face the Punjab Kings on May 3.
