Gujarat Titans Head Coach:
Ashish Nehra has been named the Head Coach of the Ahmedabad franchise due to his extensive knowledge and experience in both playing and evaluating cricket. The owners want to benefit from Nehra’s greatest insights for their squad since he is one of the top cricketers to take advice from.
Director of Cricket:
Vikram Solanki, a former England batsman, has left his position as Head Coach of the Surrey County Club to join the new Ahmedabad franchise as Director of Cricket. He seemed to be quite pleased with the team’s decisions and vision thus far.
It would be wonderful to watch such talent come together and create the new Gujarat Titans squad as they prepare to enter their maiden Indian Premier League season.
