India’s New Delhi According to Aashish Kapoor, assistant coach of the Gujarat Titans (GT), even good cricket players may establish negative habits with the fundamentals, whether it’s bowling or batting, while they’re playing well.

“As cricket players, whether you’re a bowler or a batsman, you develop terrible habits with your fundamentals over time when you’re doing well. Rashid, I believe, had to have surgery last year because of trouble with his back. During the pre-match news conference, Aashish Kapoor said, “There are times when you are in a lot of pain and you are still playing matches, you tend to do something with your action to make your pain less.”

“After two or three games this year, I believe we discussed a few things about how he has to improve his front hand, which was a little closed. When the batsman bowls, it should be facing him. That’s what he is doing now. In the last game or two, he has also been bowling longer. He continued, “Hopefully, he regains his confidence, takes a few wickets, and returns to his former self as Rashid Khan.”

Rabada’s absence from the squad was another topic Kapoor discussed.

“Rabada is just waiting for us; he might come back.” He has been absent due to personal and family issues. He will return after he has resolved it, if it is resolved in a timely manner. However, we’re not sure when. Like everyone else, we’re simply waiting,” he said.

The 35th IPL 2025 match would play the Gujarat Titans (GT) against the Delhi Capitals (DC). The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad will host this game.

GT is ranked second in the standings after six games with four wins and two losses. They lost by six wickets against the Lucknow Super Giants in their most recent match. In addition to losing a few players due to injury, Shanaka has joined the squad in lieu of Phillips, who was injured.

With five wins and one loss in six games, DC, on the other side, is in first place. They won an exciting super over against the Rajasthan Royals in their most recent match. After needing nine runs in the last over, Starc took the game to a super over and was awarded Player of the Match. By limiting RR to 11, he also helped them win the Super.
