Skipper mohammadreza shadloui

As Gujarat Giants: As Gujarat Giants returned to winning ways, registering their second victory in PKL 12 after overcoming UP Yoddhas in a hard-fought contest in the opening game of the Chennai leg. Skipper Mohammadreza Shadloui showed why he’s regarded as one of the best in the business with eight points on the night, including four touch points and four tackle points.

Reflecting on the win, the all-rounder shared, "We changed our strategy and played very well today. Rakesh handled the raiding, while I wanted to put my focus on defence and handle defence. If we keep playing like this, we have more chances to win."

Echoing those sentiments, head coach Jaivir Sharma added, "Some of the matches we’ve lost this season have been by a very close margin. So, we analysed those games and worked on the things where we were falling slightly short. The hard work paid off today.
