After losing the match, Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill said, ‘We gave an additional 15-20 runs. It would have been better if we had stopped them at 210-220, it was a big difference. When Gill was asked whether the first bowling was decided to test things just before the playoffs, he said, ‘It is not so. We bowled well in the powerplay but due to not taking wickets, things got out of hand. Due to this, he (Lucknow) scored 180 runs in the next 14 overs which was quite high.
The Gujarat Titans chased the target and scored 186 runs for 6 wickets in 17 overs. Then he needed 50 runs in the last three overs to win, which is not considered very difficult in the IPL. On losing the match from this situation, Shubman Gill said, ‘We remained in the match till the 17th over. Shahrukh and Rutherford batted well. However, we did not get the desired result. We will try to get the rhythm back in the next match.
