Gujarat Needs To Invest In A Seasoned Captain Next Season: Sunil Taneja
Dabang Delhi K.C. narrowly defeated Gujarat Giants 39-33, securing their Playoff spot. Taneja discussed Gujarat Giants’ defensive struggles after the team suffered a loss to Delhi. The expert believes that the team’s defence faltering is ‘nothing new’ and called the team’s defence unit inconsistent.
“Gujarat Giants’ defense faltering is nothing new. We knew it would be a tough game for captain Mohammadreza Shadloui, especially with two left raiders in Delhi’s lineup and Akshit Dhull’s arrival only made it worse. Sometimes, the defense just needs to stay calm. If one defender had gone for the tackle instead of three, perhaps Gujarat could’ve turned it around. Throughout the season, Gujarat’s defense has been inconsistent. But when a debutant raider scores multiple multi-point raids, it clearly shows the absence of an experienced leader on the mat. Gujarat needs to invest in a seasoned captain next season,” he said.
