Ashish Nehra Defines The Role Of Hardik Pandya And Kane Williamson For The Upcoming IPL 2023

The auction for the IPL 2023 happened on December 23 in Kochi where all the franchisees filled their squads with their wanted players. Gujarat Titans who lifted the IPL trophy last year bought New Zealand captain Kane Williamson for INR 2 Crores.

All the fans and cricket experts were surprised to get such a massive cricketer at its base price and Gujarat Titans coach Ashish Nehra also feels the same. Being an international as well as IPL captain what role would be provided to Kane Williamson, coach Ashish Nehra came up with an interesting answer for the Kiwi star.

Talking to Starports after the auction on Friday, Nehra explained Gujarat Titans were looking for a solid no.3 batter for the franchisee and Kane Williamson fits the best at that position.

“Yes, of course. Somebody like Kane Williamson, you are looking at batting at No. 3,” said Nehra.

Nehra further talked about the team’s captain Hardik Pandya who played an anchor role for the team while playing in the middle order.

Nehra stated, “Hardik batted at No. 3 only once last year, otherwise he batted at No. 4. With Williamson at 3, Hardik will continue to bat at No. 4. We cannot think so far ahead since there’s still so much time for the IPL to begin. We will take a call closer to the tournament but I don’t think Hardik will bat down the order. And I feel there is no such thing as a finisher. If you are set and batting well, you are expected to finish the game. Even your opener can be your finisher,” said Nehra.
