Moody said that GT's bowlers did not really have the tools to succeed on pitches that did not provide help for the bowlers. Moody appeared on ESPNCricinfo to offer his insights after LSG finished tenth on the IPL 2026 points table and were the first team to be eliminated from playoffs contention.
GT chose to bowl after winning the toss, but the decision backfired. Venkatesh Iyer started aggressively but fell in the second over. Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal then made an excellent partnership of 72 runs in 6 overs before Kohli chopped one on from Jason Holder.
The floodgates were ultimately broken when left-arm seamer Kulwant Khejroliya, playing his first match of the season, conceded 28 runs off his second over. That pushed Patidar and Pandya's partnership to 95 runs in about eight overs.
The Gujarat Titans never really got going. Sai Sudharsan was hit-wicket bizarrely as his bat slipped from his hands and crashed onto the stumps. GT's famed top three were all dismissed within the power play, and the team was 5 down in the power play when Rasikh Salam bowled a double-wicket maiden.
They are the bowling version of SRH- Tom Moody on Gujarat Titans
After the match, Moody spoke on ESPNCricinfo about GT's limitations as a team and compared them to the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
"When there's zero movement in the surface, that's when they're vulnerable, because they don't have the real extreme change-ups, you know, of pace and variety," he said.
"You get the ball just nipping or swinging a little bit, and Siraj and Rabada - all the very best to you, because you're going to have a tough examination. This is a very, very flat surface. And we saw that in the powerplay."
"Their trump card is when it's doing a bit, and they can hit that hard length and create issues both on inside and on the outside of the bat," he concluded.
Gujarat Titans' next match
The Gujarat Titans will face the winners of the Eliminator. The Eliminator will be played between SRH and the Rajasthan Royals in Mullanpur on Wednesday. The winner of Qualifier 2 will qualify for the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, where defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru lie in wait.
