West Indian all-rounder Jason Holder believes that the Gujarat Titans are yet to play their best cricket this season in the IPL. He further added that despite still looking for their best combination, GT are still in contention for the top 4.
“The beauty about how we`ve been playing is that it`s not one individual performing every single day. There are different players stepping up on different days. So I think we still arguably haven`t played our best game yet but you know, the beauty about that is that we`re still getting the two points necessary each time we cross the line.” Holder said.
While a target of 164 was chased only with a ball to spare, Holder stressed getting the two points was more important than worrying about the net run-rate.
“Look, I think the first priority is always to win the game. If we find ourselves in a position where conditions are favourable, we could think about net run-rate. I think we`ll do that. But I think the first priority is to accumulate the two points every single time we play and build our momentum. We`re on a bit of a roll in terms of three back-to-back wins now.”
Holder heaps praise on Gujarat Titans pace bowlers
Even though Holder has taken seven wickets in four games, he awarded GT pacers Mohammed Siraj and Kagiso Rabada a lot of credit for regularly taking wickets during the Powerplay.
“Credit to both KG and Siraj. I think they`ve been outstanding this entire competition. You know, they`ve led the powerplay, I think, in this entire competition. And they`ve made it difficult for the opposition. You know, that speaks volumes for their class.”
“I mean, very rarely have I seen two bowlers, you know, bowling three overs back-to-back in a Powerplay. So it says a lot about their calibre and their quality. I think when they start, you know, they set the tone in terms of what length works on a particular wicket. And then, you know, it`s just a matter for all the other bowlers to follow.” Holder added.
