Matthew Hayden: ‘Horrible day for Gujarat Titans’: Hayden blasts ‘unacceptable’ collapse in MI hammering Gujarat Titans’ batting coach Matthew Hayden delivered a scathing critique of his team’s performance after their 99-run defeat to Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2026 match. Chasing a target of 200, the Titans were bowled out for 100, a collapse Hayden described as “unacceptable” and a “horrible day” for the squad. The batting unit’s failure to capitalize on their strong line-up and the team’s inability to maintain composure under pressure were central to his post-match assessment. Hayden emphasized that the margin of defeat—100 runs—was far beyond what he expected from a team with a reputation for strong batting. “I expect our margins to be a lot smaller than 100. That is an unacceptable scorecard for our batting unit,” he said. He criticized the team’s mindset, stating that the performance did not reflect the quality of players they had on their roster. “When you look down at our batting line-up, we’ve got wonderful players that have to be in a better mindset and better position to take their opportunities,” Hayden added. The collapse was not limited to the batting department. Hayden also lambasted the bowling unit for a disastrous finish, particularly in the final four overs. From 44/3, Mumbai Indians surged to 199/5, scoring 73 runs in the last four overs—a phase Hayden called a “horror story.” “That was just a horror story—73 off the last four is unacceptable as world-class players,” he said. He attributed the poor execution to a lack of focus and discipline, noting that the pitch did not justify such a high total. “We were very average with the ball on a wicket that I really felt was probably a 175-type wicket,” Hayden remarked.#batting_coach #ipl_2026 #gujarat_titans #mumbai_indians #matthew_hayden
