It won the title in its debut season and has reached the Playoffs in three of the four subsequent seasons (including two final appearances).<\/p>\n<p>Manjrekar praised the manner in which Nehra handled the team. \u201cAshish Nehra is your hardcore street-smart cricketer. If you talk cricket with him, he\u2019s not somebody who will get too emotional, he\u2019ll just be able to look at the problems that his team has,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is a sharp reader of the game, and somebody who doesn\u2019t think too much outside cricket or trying to please somebody and playing these games that you want to play to survive or keep certain people happy, and I think that is where the players see it.<\/p>\n<p>Manjrekar also praised Nehra\u2019s ability to remain calm and not let success get to his head, saying, \u201cYou can see that he doesn\u2019t get affected by success as a coach. He wouldn\u2019t want to take too much credit, he\u2019s just a simple guy doing the hard yards quite easily and seems to love it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, he was clear that if he were to join the team, it should only be as a head coach, not as a bowling coach, despite the strength of the bowling unit he has cultivated at GT.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think he should come in as a bowling coach, because if he\u2019s a guy who\u2019s been the head coach and has got his team to do so well under different captains, then if he comes in he should come in as the head coach,\u201d he opined.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"publish-time\" id=\"end-of-article\">Published on Jun 01, 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sportstar.thehindu.com\/cricket\/ipl\/ashish-nehra-gujarat-titans-india-next-ball-white-coach-sanjay-manjrekar-insight-edge-quotes\/article71049952.ece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat Titans may have lost Sunday\u2019s IPL 2026 final against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, but after yet another impressive season, former India international Sanjay Manjrekar said that head coach Ashish Nehra should be kept in mind for the role of India white-ball coach in the future. \u201cIf at all India is looking for a T20 coach, &#8230; <a title=\"Ashish Nehra should be kept in mind for India\u2019s next white-ball coach: Sanjay Manjrekar\u00a0\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/newslink360.space\/?p=175446\" aria-label=\"Read more about Ashish Nehra should be kept in mind for India\u2019s next white-ball coach: Sanjay Manjrekar\u00a0\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":175447,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-175446","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/newslink360.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/PTI05_15_2026_000288A.jpg","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pgnRh4-JDM","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newslink360.space\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175446","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newslink360.space\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newslink360.space\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newslink360.space\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newslink360.space\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=175446"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newslink360.space\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175446\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newslink360.space\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/175447"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newslink360.space\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=175446"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newslink360.space\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=175446"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newslink360.space\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=175446"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
