During cricket matches, the sight of coaches providing advice from the sidelines is less common compared to football. However, Ashish Nehra, the head coach of Gujarat Titans, has set a new trend in cricket by actively coaching from the sidelines in IPL 2024.
Nehra has been at the helm of Gujarat Titans since its inception, even with changes in team leadership, Shubman Gill taking over, Nehra’s coaching style remains consistent. During a recent IPL match between Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians, Nehra’s proactive coaching methods caught the attention of viewers.
In moments of pressure or when communication is crucial, Nehra channels the tactics of a football coach. He is seen actively engaging with players on the field, whether it’s by calling the captain over for a discussion or relaying messages to players in the dugout. Nehra’s involvement extends to players stationed on the boundary line, ensuring that his guidance reaches every corner of the field.
Notably, Nehra doesn’t limit his coaching to just on-field interactions. During breaks in play, he utilizes the drinks break to convey messages to other team members. This proactive approach by Nehra has become a defining feature of Gujarat Titans’ matches in the IPL this season.
