New Zealand all-rounder Glenn Phillips is known for his explosive batting as well as his excellent fielding. Along with this, he also knows how to bowl off-spin. He is considered a great player in T20 but in this year’s mega auction, no franchise was seen bidding for him. Taking advantage of this, Ashish Nehra easily included him in Gujarat Titans.
