Ashish Nehra is a big time moron, he is the OG of wasting talent!
Kumar Kushagra was the best #4 batsman in SMAT 2026 yet Nehra gave him 0 chances at that spot for Gujarat Titans. 

Both Gurnoor Brar and Ashok Sharma need to leave this franchise, or else they will never get chances under Nehra. 

Kushgrah is not IPl ready he played 1-2 games in IPl was unable to hit the ball..

 

As for gurnoor and Ashok -- They had Rabada and Pradish filling the same role with more exp. Gt is not an ideal IPL/t20 side they have to make such selections because they rely on 3 batters and only buttler is proper t20 batter.

Which is why, in our entire test match history spanning 94 years, we have produced only ONE pacer averaging 25 or less in test cricket [ among pacers with 100+ test wickets ]. Jasprit Bumrah averaging 19.x 

 

Yet our ex-cricketers never learn. Gurnoor Brar has played 18 FC matches but Dodda Ganesh talked about the need for a " body of work " before selection and taunted about 'hit the head pacers'. And Gavaskar talked about the need for monitoring such 145 k pacers instead of bringing them in to play test matches. [ Despite Gurnoor playing both Ranji and then A team tests and doing well ].

 

Indians ex-cricketers are the last persons you should listen to when it  comes to selecting new quick pacers.

I think they are too busy with commentary of international matches and their other business interests to have the time to look at new talents ...

ASHOK SHARMA 

 

154.2 kph ball below

 

Just look at the wonderful seam position and late indip at such high pace.

Look at the accuracy and bounce at express pace above.  Seam and swing too.

 

And we were ignoring such a pacer.

 

Include Ashok Sharma in the red ball A-team too.

Absolutely. And he’s one guy who genuinely looks strong for this work load. Action is beautiful as well. IPL really screwed up his chances temporarily.

Anyways what’s gone is gone, new opportunities again.

Ashok Sharma not picked against Afghanistan A while Kamboj gets 3rd chance after 2 massive failures. 

We can expect this from Joshi and Kanitkar,no foresight,no future planning,no risk taking ability.

I am assuming he probably reached yesterday only.  So they didn't want him to play straightaway (at least I hope that's the case)

Not even in substitutes as per team sheet.

Just look at his run up and action bro, and you know that Ashok is very athletic and flexible.

Saw it in IPL as well.  Whole hearted cricketer.

 

I badly want to see that guy in finals now.   But don't see Kanitkar and Joshi changing the combination:facepalm:
