GT wicketkeeper-batter Jos Buttler said the decision to play Nishant Sindhu at number three ahead of him in IPL 2026 final was taken by GT head coach Ashish Nehra. Buttler added, "Nehra said, 'You sit back down'...He...said it felt reactive at that point, and it was a good chance to get Nishant in the game as he's a top-order batter."
