Sources close to developments reveal that Patel will join the support staff led by former India cricketer Ashish Nehra. <br \/>Patel replaces Gary Kirsten who was earlier the batting coach and mentor of the side. Kirsten left the IPL franchise and joined the Pakistan cricket team as the white-ball head coach.<br \/>Vikram Solanki continues to be with the side as Director of Cricket and was in attendance for the Delhi vs Tamil Nadu Ranji Trophy fixture at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.<br \/>Before the GT move, Parthiv Patel was associated with Mumbai Indians as talent scout and was regularly spotted watching domestic fixtures, even the age-group ones, in the country. <br \/>The wicketkeeper-batter joined MI after announcing his retirement from all forms of cricket in December 2020 and has been busy with scouting and commentary duties since then. <br \/>He tracks the domestic circuit very aggressively and will be a valuable addition to the GT camp who would look to assemble another title winning squad at the upcoming mega auction. The southpaw&#8217;s understanding of the IPL ecosystem, as he has played for multiple teams in the past, will also help the GT franchise chart their way forward.<br \/>GT have had a phenomenal entry into the IPL as they won the opening season, were runners-up in the next but couldn&#8217;t finish the cycle on a high in the 2024 edition. <br \/>Hardik Pandya&#8217;s transfer to Mumbai Indians and injury to Mohammed Shami hurt the balance of the squad but they would look to make amends and put a strong core in place. The work is already underway as all teams are finalising their retentions and it will be interesting to see if GT put their weight behind Shami.<br \/>Shubman Gill is likely to be their top retention as the franchise had promoted him to captaincy last season and want to continue the partnership with one of India&#8217;s most talented batters.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nvar _mfq = window._mfq || [];\n_mfq.push([\"setVariable\", \"toi_titan\", window.location.href]);\n!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };\n    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };\n    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')\n      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed){\n        (function(w) {\n         function setAttributes() {\n                    var prime_user_status = window.isPrime ?
