Defending champions Gujarat Titans seem to have picked up where they left off last season and currently are on top of the table with 12 points from 8 games.
This is a testament to the strength of the unit and the effort the team’s staff and players have put in and head coach Ashish Nehra needs to be credited for his work with the team since their inaugural tournament last year.

On the former Indian pacer’s 44th birthday, the team shared a light-hearted video of the quick’s son, Arush, imitating his father’s boundary-line mannerisms.
The clip began with a prompt from the background as Nehra junior is asked “Hey, Arush, I want to know what your dad does on matchday".
“First, I need a reverse cap, but it is okay," begins Arush, pointing out the signature look of his father sporting a cap turned back around.
“Hands behind like this," he says as he folds his arms behind his back.
“Fast ball, fast ball. Bowl a fast ball, eh. Length ball," Arush asserted as he mirrored his father’s mannerisms.
“Same to same he does," Arush said as the clip concluded.
