The side has now strung together three straight victories, moving up to fourth place in the points standings as their performances\u2014both on the field and in the dressing room\u2014have gained a steadier rhythm. Much of the turnaround has been linked to the influence of head coach Ashish Nehra, who previously steered the franchise to the title in its maiden campaign.<\/p>\n<h2>Key takeaways<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Gujarat Titans started IPL 2026 with two successive losses before launching a three-match winning run.<\/li>\n<li>With the recent victories, GT have climbed to fourth spot on the points table.<\/li>\n<li>Harbhajan Singh lauded Nehra\u2019s ability to keep the group together and upbeat.<\/li>\n<li>In the latest match, GT chased KKR\u2019s 180 using a standout 86 from Shubman Gill.<\/li>\n<li>Kagiso Rabada\u2019s figures of 3\/29 played a key role in limiting the opposition.<\/li>\n<li>GT\u2019s next assignment is a match against Mumbai Indians in Ahmedabad on Monday.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Nehra\u2019s impact praised by Harbhajan<\/h2>\n<p>Former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh highlighted what he described as Ashish Nehra\u2019s distinctive approach to coaching, saying Nehra creates a comfortable environment wherever he goes. Speaking on JioHotstar\u2019s \u201cChampions Waali Commentary,\u201d Harbhajan said the head coach not only looks after his own mindset, but also makes everyone around him feel at ease, and that working alongside him typically guarantees a good experience.<\/p>\n<p>Harbhajan also pointed to Nehra\u2019s active, on-field involvement during matches. In his assessment, the coach\u2019s primary contribution has been maintaining unity across the squad. He likened Nehra\u2019s style to that of a football coach, emphasizing that he is constantly engaged\u2014moving throughout the contest and finding individual players to speak with. Harbhajan further added that Nehra understands the game well, and described the work he has delivered with Gujarat Titans as commendable.<\/p>\n<h2>Latest result: GT chase 180 vs KKR<\/h2>\n<p>In their most recent outing, Gujarat Titans successfully chased a demanding target of 180 set by Kolkata Knight Riders. Shubman Gill was the driving force in the chase, producing an 86 that helped GT keep the pressure on and ultimately reach the required total.<\/p>\n<p>On the bowling front, Kagiso Rabada\u2019s spell was crucial as he returned figures of 3\/29 to rein in the opposition\u2019s batting. That restriction set up the chase and supported the momentum GT built with their successful run.<\/p>\n<p>Even with the win streak, Gujarat Titans\u2019 net run rate is still not as strong as some leading sides, with the article noting that it remains behind teams such as Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru.<\/p>\n<h2>Next match and what to watch<\/h2>\n<p>Looking ahead, Gujarat Titans will take on Mumbai Indians in Ahmedabad on Monday, with the aim of extending their current winning momentum. The clash is expected to be a key test of whether GT can maintain their improved form and continue climbing the table.<\/p>\n<p>For fans tracking the tournament, live scores, IPL news, the schedule, points table movement, and the race for the Orange Cap and Purple Cap are available through IPL coverage updates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat Titans have noticeably altered their IPL 2026 trajectory after beginning the season with two consecutive defeats.
