What the Captains Said

Shubman Gill (Gujarat Titans – winning captain) “Very happy with the win. It was a very good effort from us. I was a little unsure about the toss – batting or bowling – but we did it the right way. We bowled well in the powerplay. Sai is batting brilliantly. Once he gets set, he rewards you to the maximum.”

Ruturaj Gaikwad (Chennai Super Kings – losing captain) “I felt the game was challenging on the field. If we hadn’t lost so many wickets early on, we could have reached 170 to 180. The bounce was up and down. We couldn’t adapt today. We were sluggish early on and that hurt us. We needed a much better start as a batting unit.”
