GT’s top-order batters always look to play proper cricket: Kapoor

Gujarat Titans spin-bowling coach Aashish Kapoor on Saturday insisted that his team’s strength lies in accumulating runs the traditional way instead of the modern approach of attacking from the outset in T20s.

“You see our batting approach, whether it’s any kind of surface, it’s proper cricket up front. So our batters, [Shubman] Gill, Sai Sudarshan, and [Jos] Buttler will look to play proper cricket. It’s not that we are looking to score 120 runs in six overs like other teams. We want to play normal cricket, get to 60-70-80 runs, whatever we can, and then see where we can go from there,” he said on the eve of GT’s contest against Punjab Kings here.

Kapoor also heaped praise on Rahul Tewatia for holding his nerve and steering his side to a four-wicket win in the last match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
