Watch: Ashish Nehra Hilariously Runs Away After Hardik Pandya Gives Him Credit For Gujarat Titans Triumph In IPL 2022
May 19, 2023 at 4:15 PM
Ashish Nehra has been receiving praise from all the quarters after Gujarat Titans’ stunning campaign in IPL 2022 came to an end in the best possible manner. Playing their first-ever season, the Gujarat Titans finished their campaign by winning the title after the impressive 7-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals on Sunday (May 29).
Before the start of the season, Gujarat was seen by most as one of the weakest teams of the competition. Not many had given them a chance of going far in IPL 2022 let alone winning it. However, the Titans exceeded everyone’s expectation with their stunning performance in the tournament.
They finished the league stage at the top of the points table after winning 10 of the 14 games. In the first qualifier, they thrashed the Royals to enter the final before beating the same opposition to lift the title.
And following Titans’ win, the cricket fraternity has been lauding their captain Hardik Pandya and head coach Ashish Nehra for their leadership. Both the men were instrumental in their team’s dream run in IPL 2022.
Ashish Nehra runs away after being praised:
Soon after the presentation ceremony ended, Ashish Nehra and Hardik Pandya spoke to each other.Β In the short clip posted by IPL on Twitter, Nehra started the conversation by asking Pandya about his feeling after winning the title.
“How are you feeling Mr. Pandya,” asked Nehra. In reply, the Titans skipper said: “Very good. We hit a six in the very first year.”
Pandya was then quick to recall the reaction after being appointed as the captain, saying that people questioned his batting and fielding credentials. Nehra was quick to reply to that, saying: “Who are these people?”
Pandya then gave credit to Nehra for the team’s performance this season, saying: “The way we played, a lot of credit goes to him. He made each and every player work hard.”
And as Pandya was praising Nehra, the latter ran away, saying: “There is nothing like that. He is lying. Thank you very much.”
