Gujarat Titans' assistant coach Parthiv Patel has responded to Tom Moody's criticism regarding the team's bowling performance on flat pitches, particularly targeting their pacers like Kagiso Rabada and Mohammad Siraj. Moody, in a recent interview, suggested that the Titans' bowlers lack variety and become predictable when conditions do not favor movement. In defense, Patel pointed out that the Titans finished second in the IPL 2026 league, emphasizing their capability and style of play. He noted that despite a recent loss to Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Qualifier, the team has consistently qualified for the playoffs, achieving this four out of five years since their establishment. Patel reiterated their commitment to their playing style and expressed confidence in their abilities as they prepare to face Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2. The match will also spotlight Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, a 15-year-old prodigy leading the tournament in runs.
