GT have continued from where they left off last year, as they currently hold the top position in the points table after performing consistently yet again. Across nine games, they have won six and lost three to collect 12 points.
However, they faced a loss in their latest outing against Delhi Capitals, while failing to chase down a target of 131, even with their captain Hardik Pandya (59*), remaining unbeaten in the end.
"He is a big player and owned that it was his mistake that he couldn't finish"- Harbhajan Singh on GT captain Hardik Pandya
In a video on his YouTube channel, Harbhajan Singh recently analyzed GT's performance in the match against Delhi Capitals. He pointed out Hardik Pandya's inability to strike big in the death overs but lauded him for owning his shortcomings after the game. Harbhajan said:
"Hardik scored a half-century but couldn't finish the game off. He admitted later that he couldn't connect the ball towards the backend. It's good that he admitted it because such things happen. He is a big player and owned that it was his mistake that he couldn't finish.
"The likes of Vijay Shankar and David Miller departed early and that didn't allow Hardik to play his natural game. Otherwise I don't think many would have a better strike rate than Hardik once he gets going. So it's okay, champion players make a comeback and he will too. He has just raised his game since becoming a captain."
Gujarat Titans will next face Rajasthan Royals on May 5 in Jaipur.
