'Lack A Quality Indian Middle-Order Player': Tom Moody On Where It Went Wrong For GT
Last Updated: Tom Moody believes Gujarat Titans need a quality Indian middle-order batter to address a significant gap after their IPL 2025 Eliminator loss to Mumbai Indians. Former Sunrisers Hyderabad head coach Tom Moody believes that the Gujarat Titans (GT) need a quality Indian middle-order batter to address a significant gap in their lineup. This issue became evident after their 20-run loss to the Mumbai Indians (MI) in the IPL 2025 Eliminator. GT's impressive IPL 2025 campaign was driven by their top-three batsmen: captain Shubman Gill, B Sai Sudharsan, and Jos Buttler. As a result, their middle order had limited opportunities to bat during the league matches. During the chase of 229 in New Chandigarh, following the dismissals of Washington Sundar and Sudharsan, GT's middle-order batsmen—Sherfane Rutherford, Rahul Tewatia, and M Shahrukh Khan—struggled to maintain the required run rate against a formidable MI bowling attack. Consequently, the IPL 2022 champions were eliminated from the competition. Tom Moody remarked, 'I group Rutherford with Tewatia. They have similar roles, though they are different in their style—one being more of a six-hitter. However between them, they faced 26 balls today and managed to hit only one six. That, to me, explains everything." He added, 'They bat at the end of the innings where boundaries are crucial—either fours or sixes, not singles. This is what they train for. That was their moment to hit at least three more sixes, which might have made a difference." Moody further explained, 'Washington stepped up for that role in this match, but they lack a quality Indian top-order or middle-order player to fill that gap. Finding such a player would significantly improve the team's balance." Varun Aaron, the former India fast bowler who was part of the GT setup when they won the IPL 2022 title in their debut season, noted the absence of a middle-order batsman who could replicate David Miller's performance from that season. Aaron said, 'Tewatia usually comes in during the last two or three overs to play a crucial role. However, he has never been the player to consistently build an innings from earlier on. David Miller was that player—he would enter with six or seven overs to spare, build his innings, and finish strongly." He concluded, 'In 2022, Miller was reliable, ensuring he did not miss any slot balls, which was a key factor in GT's success. This year, Rutherford has not been able to replicate that performance consistently." (with PTI Inputs) First Published: May 31, 2025, 14:11 IST

IPL-Winning Coach Names Problem In Gujarat Titans Squad After Heartbreaking Exit
Former Sunrisers Hyderabad head coach Tom Moody reckons Gujarat Titans' (GT) needs a quality Indian middle-order batter to fill a void in their side which came to the fore after suffering a 20-run defeat to Mumbai Indians' (MI) in the IPL 2025 Eliminator. GT's stellar IPL 2025 campaign had been led by top-three batters in captain Shubman Gill, B Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler, which meant their middle order didn't get much batting in the league matches. In the chase of 229 in New Chandigarh, after the fall of Washington Sundar and Sudharsan, GT's middle order batters – Sherfane Rutherford, Rahul Tewatia and M Shahrukh Khan - couldn't maintain the tempo in the face of a relentless MI bowling line-up, as the IPL 2022 winners eventually bowed out of the competition. "I sort of bag Rutherford with Tewatia. I think they both have similar roles. Slightly different players - one is more of a six-hitter than the other. But between them they faced 26 balls today, and hit one six. That, to me, just tells it all." "They are batting right at the back end of the innings, where the currency is boundaries. It's either fours or sixes, it's not ones and twos. Currency is boundaries, and that's what they train for. And that was their moment to at least add three to that one, and that may have been the difference." "With regards to their batting, I suppose Washington stepped up here for that particular role, but they are missing a quality Indian top-order/middle-order player that can fill that void. If they can find that, it will certainly make a big difference to the balance of their side," said Moody on ESPNcricinfo. Varun Aaron, the former India fast-bowler who was in the GT set-up when they won the IPL 2022 title in their debut season in the tournament, believes the side didn't have a batter in the middle-order who could replicate what David Miller did for them in that edition of the competition. "Tewatia has always been that guy who's come in in the last two, max three, overs and played a blinder. At a very crunch time, yes, but he's never been one of those guys... for example, David Miller was the guy, he was the Rutherford.' 'He would come in with six-seven overs to spare, build his innings nicely, and when he was set, he wasn't missing a slot ball. There was no chance David Miller was going to miss a slot ball. He was that guy that year, and that's why GT won that final." "Because there were quite a few matches where the top order had set it up nicely for Miller; Miller would take it deep and finish it. This year, Rutherford has not been able to do that on more than two or three occasions," he concluded. Listen to the latest songs, only on

Believe in yourselves, inductee tells students
Vietnam War veteran Lox Kellas (left) and former Blackcap Ken Rutherford stand in front of the King's High School Wall of Fame yesterday. PHOTO: LINDA ROBERTSON A Vietnam War veteran and a former Blackcap have been honoured by their secondary school in Dunedin. Lox Kellas and Ken Rutherford were inducted into King's High School's Wall of Fame at an assembly yesterday. Mr Rutherford, who attended the school from 1979 to 1982, said it was remarkable to be recognised among his peers. His message to the King's students was "you've just got to keep going". "There's a lot to be said about reacting well to life's experiences when they perhaps don't go the way they're intended to and to have a real confidence in yourself that you can still achieve lots." Two years after Mr Rutherford left school, he was facing one of the most feared fast bowling attacks in the world in West Indies' Malcolm Marshall, Michael Holding and Joel Garner. He got three ducks in his first four innings and was subsequently dropped from the team. However, he worked his way back into the international side after scoring runs in domestic cricket and made 107 not out against England in Wellington in the 1987-88 tour. Mr Rutherford was now the Northern Districts Cricket Association chief executive. Mr Kellas, who attained the army rank of major, said the honour took him by surprise. "There are a lot more former pupils out there that have done a lot more than I've ever done," the Vietnam War veteran said. He recognised a few of the names on the King's Wall of Fame and did not expect to see himself on it. "Life's full of challenges and if you accept those challenges and do it well, that's the reward." Mr Kellas, who attended the school from 1961 to 1966, was awarded a Queen's Service Medal in 2007 for services to New Zealand Police. He was involved in the community through a variety of initiatives and organisations including as the Returned Services Association Otago and Southland district president, a founding member of the Dunedin Coastguard and a Otago Peninsula Community board member. Mr Kellas said he kept his remarks to the King's students very short and addressed them as "tomorrow's leaders". He offered them a Gaelic quote which translated to "lead but serve". King's principal Nick McIvor said it was great to celebrate the fascinating lives and remarkable achievements of former students. Alongside Mr Kellas and Mr Rutherford, Geoff Thomas, Philip Craigie, Al Fastier, Graham Fortune and Tony Merriman were also inducted into the Wall of Fame.

How Edmonton Public Schools is grappling with undocumented children
Article content 'There are children in this province, in this city, who are being prevented from attending school,' she said. Rutherford emphasized the emotional toll this takes on children, who 'are falling behind academically and suffering as they struggle to understand why they aren't allowed to exist and participate as equals alongside their peers.' How Alberta compares to other provinces? Advocates and trustees have pointed to legislative models in Ontario and British Columbia as examples of how Alberta could expand access to public education for undocumented children. In Ontario, the Education Act explicitly states that a student must be admitted to school even if the child or their parents are in Canada unlawfully. Provincial guidance also indicates that such students generally qualify for government funding. In British Columbia, the School Act requires boards to provide free education to all resident students, with 'ordinary residence' determined by factors like housing, employment, tax filings, or a provincial driver's licence. Students who meet these conditions are eligible for public education and funding, regardless of immigration status.
