Ashish Nehra's job is saved, he will remain the head coach of Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025 as well, and will get a hefty salary.
The Gujarat Titans team was recently bought by Ahmedabad-based company Torrent Pharma. This company will own the team in IPL 2025. After the franchise gets a new owner, it is expected that there may be major changes in the team management and coaching staff. Due to this, the job of the team's head coach Ashish Nehra was also in danger. However, according to a Cricbuzz report, he has nothing to worry about now, as the Torrent Group wants to retain him in this position for IPL 2025. According to the report, apart from Nehra, Director of Cricket Vikram Solanki will also remain with the franchise.
Salary can be 8 crores.
Gujarat Titans entered IPL 2022. Then Ashish Nehra was made the head coach of the team. Under his leadership, the team won the IPL title in its debut season itself. After this success, the franchise extended the contract with him for three years. Along with him, Vikram Solanki's tenure was also extended.
After the success of the first season, Ashish Nehra got a good salary. After this, the team reached the final in the second season as well, where it had to face defeat at the hands of Chennai Super Kings. However, the team's performance was not good in the 2024 season. Now a Cricbuzz report suggests that his name may be included in the highest-paid coaches in IPL 2025. Because Gujarat Titans is ready to pay up to Rs 8 crore to Ashish Nehra.
His luck also shined with Nehra.
Along with Ashish Nehra, the fortunes of some other support staff have changed. His staying with Gujarat Titans means that his entire coaching staff will also remain in IPL 2025. That means Ashish Kapoor, Mithun Manhas, Narendra Negi, and Naeem Amin will also remain associated with the team. All of them are in the role of assistant coaches. At the same time, performance analyst Sandeep Raju will also remain with Gujarat.
However, it remains to be seen whether the team will find a replacement for Gary Kirsten or not. Kirsten was the team's batting coach and mentor for 3 seasons, but now he has joined the Pakistan cricket team as the head white ball coach.
