Ahead of their crucial clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, Gujarat Titans Director of Cricket Vikram Solanki has expressed unwavering support for right-arm seamer Mohit Sharma, despite his underwhelming performances in the ongoing edition.
Mohit Sharma, who emerged as the joint second-highest wicket-taker in IPL 2023 with 27 scalps, has struggled to replicate his success this season. In 10 innings, he has managed only 10 wickets at an average of 36.20 and an economy of 10.96.
However, Solanki remains confident in Mohit’s abilities, attributing his recent struggles to the fearless approach of batters and the placid nature of the wickets. “Mohit is a world-class bowler and a phenomenally hardworking cricketer,” Solanki said. “We believe in him and are backing him to turn things around.”
Solanki’s unwavering support comes despite Mohit’s record-breaking performance against Delhi Capitals, where he conceded 73 runs in four overs, the worst spell in IPL history. The Gujarat-based franchise currently sits in seventh place with 8 points after winning four of 10 matches.
