"Team Is Giving 100 % In Practice Sessions": Darshan Nalkande Following Last-Ball Thriller Against RR

Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India] : Gujarat Titans (CT) all-rounder Darshan Nalkande spoke about the atmosphere and energy in the GT camp during the practice session after winning the last-ball thriller against table toppers Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024.

A fine half-century by Shubman Gill and brilliant finishing by Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan helped GT secure a thrilling three-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals (RR) in their IPL 2024 clash at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Wednesday.

"I was told that you can bowl in both in the middle and the last overs according to the situation of the game, so I was prepared for it. I used to bowl in the powerplay and in the death for my home team Vidarbha in domestic cricket," Nalkande said in a video posted by IPL.

"I am a bowling all-rounder but whenever I get a chance to bat and try to score runs for my side. I focus on my batting whenever I get time. I am ready to do whatever the team needs from me," the right-arm seamer added.

"The momentum of the GT team is the same as that was in the last two seasons. The team is giving 100% in the practice sessions with the same atmosphere and energy. Talking about the last two games, we were cruising to victory but unfortunately, we ended up losing the matches but we still have the same atmosphere and energy in the team," the 25-year-old all-rounder concluded.

GT is now in the sixth spot in the table, with three wins and three losses, giving them six points. RR have suffered their first loss after four wins and with eight points, they are still at the top of the tally.
Rashid took home the 'Player of the Match' award.
