Chucky - 8.0
Looked a little out of sorts on day 1, but managed to make an unbeaten fifty. Looked more solid on Day 2 but with worse returns. The 40 odd on day two bot his tour average to a 100. Two consecutive sixes off of Donny on day 1 were memorable. Was one of the few to field the entirety of both days.
Dalip - 9.0
Day 1 brought the ideal mix of the old and new Dalip. Along with the big hitting we are used to, Dalip also showed patience to look for the bad balls. An excellent 100 not out for the long time Titan. Dalip and Chucky have made their cases for retaining the opening spots very strongly. Only blemish on the field was a ball going under him.
DK - 3.0
The rust showed, in batting, bowling and fitness. Responded to the task of going in at number 3 with a lot of heart, but him having been away from the game for a while showed through. Same was true for bowling, where while he bowled a couple of good deliveries, the performance was not up to his usual standards. Fitness is a major concern going forward.
Rakesh - 7.5
Batted with characteristic flair and played some beautiful shots through the off side. Continued from where Dalip and Chuck had left off. Bowled well and was unlucky not to get the in form opposing batsmen out, as there were at least 4 close calls and chances on his bowling.
Phani - 4.5
After a bit of a build up, Phani's Titans debut was a bit of a damp squib. Had issues controlling his line while bowling on both days, but showed promise with the ability to move the ball off the pitch. Got his opportunity with the bat on Day 2, but threw it away with a return catch. Took a great catch at backward point and was active in the field both days.
Walt - 8.0
Was on song whenever he came on to bowl. The most consistent bowler on tour for Titans, and the only one who bowled well on both days. Went for only 3 an over on the second day, though failed to pick up a wicket. Fitness is a major concern as his absence on the field led to undesirable field setups.
Tanmay - 6.0
Started off by getting the danger man Robbie out early. Bowled well, but not up to his usual standards. As the leader of the attack on Day 1, there was a lot more expected of him.
Sandeep - 5.0
Bowled well in the opportunity presented to him. Shows potential of developing into a bowling all rounder. Looses a point for dropping Chris off Rakesh's bowling and then being out of position 2 deliveries later. Showed great dedication in the field and is a good addition to the side.
Akash - 7.0
Had trouble with the ball on day 1, while bowling and fielding, but was decent. Turned it on with the ball on day 2 bowling to settled batsmen. Stifled the batting with some consistent bowling, maintaining line and length in accordance with the field. Batted decently to extend the Titans innings.
Bunny - 2.0
Failed with the bat and the ball. Got out through an inside edge playing away from the body, and had trouble finding the right line with the ball. Was solid in the field, but overall a far cry from the team's best allrounder tag that he earned last season.
Avinash - 2.5
Could not get going with the bat in the opportunity he was given. Was pretty solid in the field.
Prateek - 7.5
Keeping was decent, but not up to his standards on day 1. Limited number of resources available hindered field placements on Day 1. Batted well to bring the team back from under 30 for 3 to set a target of 174 with a composed 58 not out.
Paul - 5.5
Batted with purpose to get a start, but did not follow through and got out looking to up the run rate. Bowling was decent as he picked up 3 wickets, but was not able to force the issue with the set batsmen. Performed well with the ball despite a long break, but again, the rust showed and not up to his standards with the bat or ball.
Rheeshie - 3.5
Got a start with the bat and built a partnership to get closer to an ideal score. Was below par behind the stumps as he had a couple of drops and let a few byes through. Was not helped by the bowlers, bowling inconsistent lines.
Mohit - 2.5
Was all over the place with the one over he bowled after showing promise in the nets. Took a good catch int he infield and fielded well in the outfield. Needs work in the nets to improve the standard of bowling.
Atif - 6.5
Bowled all the right lines, but did not come away with the returns that were expected. Was unable to break the game winning partnership for the opposition. Had early returns with the ball, but overall more incisiveness is expected.
