IPL 2025: Gujarat Titans opts for innovative training to keep middle order match-ready

Gujarat Titans assistant coach Matthew Wade revealed that the management has introduced a 'no nets up' training method to help the middle-order batters get accustomed to match situations.

Speaking to the media on the eve of their clash against Lucknow Super Giants, Wade said, "It's ideal that our top three are scoring the majority of the runs. The middle order - Sherfane, Shahrukh, and Tewatia - have made a good impact in games when given the opportunity. They just haven't had a lot of game time over the last few weeks.

"So, we're trying to give that to them as much as we can. It's obviously very hard to simulate a match, but giving them opportunities to bat on the 'B' ground with no nets up - to at least create a sense of match intensity at training - is something we'll look to do over the next week or so. The idea is to help them feel more comfortable and better prepared, as if they've had a bit more game time," he added.
