Nehra's future as Gujarat coach

Ashish Nehra's future as head coach of the Gujarat Titans is uncertain as the team prepares for the upcoming IPL mega auction. The current management, under CVC Capital, is reportedly considering a revamp of the coaching staff, despite the team's initial success, which included winning the title in 2022 and finishing second in 2023. Key figures in the coaching trio, including mentor Gary Kirsten, who has left for the Pakistan team, have already changed, prompting speculation about further adjustments. While Vikram Solanki, the director of cricket, may retain his position, Nehra's role appears more precarious, with reports suggesting he has caused discontent among players. Additionally, potential ownership changes are on the horizon but may not materialize until February 2025 due to a lock-in period for franchise shares. This uncertainty puts the management and coaching structure in a critical position ahead of the auction.
