In their latest Indian Premier League match, the Gujarat Titans faced their second consecutive defeat, scoring 161 runs in response to the 211 runs set by the Rajasthan Royals in Ahmedabad. Batting coach Matthew Hayden highlighted the need for greater cohesion among the batters, particularly after a promising start with a 78-run opening partnership between Sai Sudharsan, who scored 73 runs off 44 balls, and Kumar Kushagra. However, the Titans lost momentum due to crucial middle-order wickets, including a significant run-out of Shahrukh Khan. Hayden pointed out that small decisions can have a major impact in T20 cricket, especially during run chases. The Titans will look to secure their first win of the season against the undefeated Delhi Capitals in their upcoming match.
