Parthiv Patel Backs Gujarat Titans Despite Missing David Miller in IPL 2025

Gujarat Titans' assistant coach, Parthiv Patel, addresses the team’s strategy after losing star cricketer David Miller to Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL 2025 auction. With new additions like Sherfane Rutherford, Rahul Tewatia, and Shahrukh Khan, Patel remains confident in the team’s roster for the upcoming matches.

Gujarat Titans' assistant and batting coach, Parthiv Patel, spoke candidly about the void left by David Miller's absence in the IPL 2025 season. Miller, a formidable lower-middle-order presence and a player renowned for his IPL success, was recently drafted by the Lucknow Super Giants for INR 7.5 crore.

During a pre-match press briefing, Patel expressed confidence in the team's ability to adapt despite the challenge of replacing Miller. 'Letting a successful player go is tough, but the auction dynamics can demand it. We have players like Sherfane Rutherford, Rahul Tewatia, and Shahrukh Khan ready to step up,' Patel commented.

David Miller's legacy in the IPL includes substantial contributions to the Punjab Kings and the Gujarat Titans, highlighted by a pivotal 481-run season for the Titans. As Gujarat Titans prepare to face the Punjab Kings at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium, the focus is on leveraging their current roster's talents.
