Aakash Chopra Singles Out GT Players, Slams Them Over Not Performing 

Aakash Chopra in a video on his YouTube channel slammed several GT players such as Rashid Khan, Mohammed Siraj and several others. Aakash Chopra in the video remarked that Gujarat have lost their last two games quite badly and they will have to get their house in order if they want to beat a powerful Mumbai Indians side. 

"Gujarat have lost their last two games badly. They lost to LSG and CSK. Bowling, which used to be this team's strength, looked weak. Rashid Khan hasn't come at all. If you see his numbers for this year, they are unbecoming of him. Prasidh Krishna is very good, but Siraj has tailed off a little. Sai Kishore was very good at the start, but the returns haven't been that good lately. 

"Sherfane Rutherford and Shahrukh Khan have scored runs, but it hasn't been Rahul Tewatia's season. He has not done anything thus far this season. One can say that he hasn't got that many opportunities with the bat, but the runs aren't there," said Aakash Chopra in the video.

Gujarat Titans, if they want to win the 2025 IPL title will need to get back to their best especially when they are facing a team like Mumbai Indians, who are multiple time winners of the tournament.
