Jaipur. So far in this season of the Indian Premier League, the performance of former champions Gujarat Titans has looked average. After playing 5 matches, the team has won only 2 so far. The team that suffered defeat in the last two matches is Rajasthan Royals, who are undefeated in the tournament so far. Australia’s left-arm fast bowler Spencer Johnson of Gujarat said before the match that David Miller, who was out of the last two matches, may also be out of the team’s next match against Rajasthan Royals.
In the absence of Miller, who played the role of finisher in the Titans team, the team has lost both the last matches. The 2022 champions and last year’s runners-up Titans had to face defeat in their last two matches against Punjab Kings by three wickets and against Lucknow Super Giants by 33 runs and the team missed the aggressive batting of Miller during this period.
“Davey (Miller), I think, is not far away (from returning),” Johnson said in the pre-match press conference. Even if he does not play in this match, he will be available for the next match. Johnson believes that the win-loss record of Titans may be 2-3 but if they had not lost some close matches, it would have been 4-1. could have been done.
He said, “The performance in the last few matches has been disappointing but in the last few years we have shown how good our team is.” It will not be easy for the Titans against the Royals, who are in great form by winning four consecutive matches.
