In a bold move ahead of the highly anticipated clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Indian Premier League 2024, Gujarat Titans Director of Cricket Vikram Solanki has thrown his support behind right-arm seamer Mohit Sharma, despite his recent struggles in the ongoing season.
Mohit Sharma, who was the joint second-highest wicket-taker in the 2023 IPL, has been facing a rough patch in IPL 2024. With only ten wickets to his name at an average of 36.20 and an economy of 10.96, Sharma’s performance has been far from his usual standards. In fact, he recently recorded the worst figures in IPL history during a match against Delhi Capitals, conceding 73 runs in just four overs.
Despite these challenges, Solanki remains confident in Sharma’s abilities, describing him as a world-class bowler and a hard-working cricketer. In a pre-match press conference, Solanki emphasized Sharma’s experience and resilience, expressing belief in his potential to bounce back from his current form.
The Gujarat-based franchise currently holds the seventh spot in the IPL 2024 standings, with four wins out of ten matches. As they gear up to face Royal Challengers Bengaluru, all eyes will be on Mohit Sharma to see if he can rediscover his form and make a significant impact on the team’s performance.
With Solanki’s unwavering support and Sharma’s determination, the Gujarat Titans are hopeful for a turnaround in their fortunes as they strive to climb up the rankings in the remainder of the season.
