Former India player Aakash Chopra has said that the Gujarat Titans (GT) are not looking like a team that can reach the IPL 2025 final as well. He also stated that GT don’t seem as formidable as they were earlier in the tournament as well. However, GT suffered an 83-run loss against the CSK in their final IPL 2025 league game in Ahmedabad on Sunday, May 25 as well.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel ‘Aakash Chopra,’ he said, “Firstly, finishing in the top two has become more difficult now. They are dependent on the others. However, even if they finish in the top two, they are not looking like a team that can progress. It used to be, but it’s not looking like the same team.”

“They peaked too early, and now, when people will also leave, Kusal Mendis will come, the same story won’t get created. I feel this team has lost a lot of steam. Chennai have started to look better, whether it’s Ayush Mhatre, Urvil Patel or Dewald Brevis,” he stated. “IPL is the biggest reality show in the world. Wildcard entries happen in reality shows. These three have come and done an incredible job. They took the team to 230. They batted incredibly well. They kept hitting fours and sixes, and they thrashed Gujarat.”

However, Aakash Chopra also stated that the Gujarat Titans have suffered defeats in back-to-back games, with their bowlers failing to do well and their batters failing to chase massive totals as well.

“Gujarat have been thrashed in two successive games. First, LSG thrashed them, and after that, CSK thrashed them. The bowling is suddenly looking ordinary. Then you went to chase, and you couldn’t. This story has played out twice now,” he said.

“It means the momentum that was there has all gone. Jos Buttler will also go, and you have dropped Kagiso Rabada in any case. Rashid Khan’s form hasn’t come. Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill will get out some time, and whenever they get out, this team falls behind,” Aakash Chopra concluded.
