Former New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori was highly impressed with the performance of Gujarat Titans (GT) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 after their match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK).

In the 62nd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2022) MS Dhoni-led side locked horns with Hardik Pandya-led side at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday, May 15.

Gujarat Titans won the match by 7 wickets against Chennai Super Kings to bag their 10th victory in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 and book a spot in Qualifier 1 of the tournament.

Speaking on ESPNcricinfo after the clash between CSK and GT, Daniel Vettori said that people didn’t give enough credit to GT for their first few wins in the tournament but now they are putting such high-class performances that everyone has started believing in them.

He asserted: “We probably didn’t give GT enough credit after their first few games as they were tight and could have gone either way. But someone like Rahul Tewatia, David Miller or Rashid Khan got them over the line.

“But now they are putting in performances which start to make you believe that this is a very good team. I think it’s on the back of a strong bowling lineup and a batting lineup that has a huge amount of confidence.”

Winning the toss and batting first against GT, CSK kept batting extremely slow and in the last 5 overs, they failed to smash even one boundary and were able to score 133/5 with Ruturaj Gaikwad being the top run-getter, who scored 53 runs off 49 balls.

Former Kiwi skipper while talking about CSK’s batting said that the poor batting performance by CSK on a good batting surface can’t be explained in words. He said:

“You don’t see that score very often in an IPL game with only 5 wickets down and that too on a surface that looked pretty good. GT just cruised to it. I don’t know how you explain a performance like that other than the changes.”
