Ashish Nehra Loses Cool After Sherfane Rutherford’s Dismissal Against Mumbai Indians

Gujarat Titans head coach Ashish Nehra could not contain his frustration after Sherfane Rutherford lost his wicket at a crucial moment against Mumbai Indians. His animated reaction became one of the biggest talking points of the IPL 2025 match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on March 29.

Rutherford’s Explosive Knock Cut Short

Sherfane Rutherford, batting at No. 5, looked in destructive form. He had already cleared the ropes twice and seemed ready to power GT to a strong finish. However, his innings was cut short in the 19th over when Deepak Chahar dismissed him.

Chahar bowled a length ball outside off. Rutherford went for a big shot over long-off but failed to get the required elevation. Mitchell Santner positioned himself perfectly and took a safe catch, leaving Gujarat Titans in trouble.

Ashish Nehra’s Intense Reaction Goes Viral

The moment Rutherford walked back, Ashish Nehra’s furious reaction grabbed attention. He shouted in frustration, threw up his hands, and appeared visibly disappointed. Cameras caught him screaming from the dugout, showing how much the wicket meant for GT.

Fans quickly reacted to the moment on social media. One user posted, “Nehra is more animated than the entire GT squad!” Another wrote, “That’s the passion we love to see!”

GT Loses Momentum in Death Overs

Rutherford’s dismissal proved to be a turning point. Gujarat Titans, looking set for a big finish, struggled in the final overs. Mumbai Indians bowlers, led by Chahar, tightened their grip and restricted GT’s total.

The Titans will now rely on their bowlers to make a comeback. With Nehra’s fiery energy on display, GT fans will hope the team channels that aggression on the field.

Gujarat Titans will look to defend their total of 196 and make a winning start to the TATA IPL 2025.

Gujarat Titans posted a challenging total on a slightly two-paced wicket, thanks to strong contributions from their top order. Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan provided a brisk start, with Gill falling to Hardik Pandya for the fourth time in IPL history. Jos Buttler played a quick cameo but was dismissed by Mujeeb in the 14th over. Sudharsan anchored the innings with a well-made fifty, forming a useful stand with Rutherford. However, GT lost wickets towards the end, preventing an even bigger score. Hardik Pandya was Mumbai Indians’ standout bowler, picking up crucial wickets while maintaining a tight economy.
