Gujarat Titans failed to win over the defending champions, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, in Qualifier 1, as all the batters failed to score big, including Shubman Gill, Jos Buttler, and Sai Sudharsan. And, RCB reached their second successive IPL final with a 92-run win as well. After the loss, Shubman Gill said the fielding was poor, where Rajat Patidar was dropped on 14 and 20 in the 14th over by Prasidh Krishna, and then he smashed a stunning knock.

“I think we were going pretty well up until the 12th, 13th over, and I don’t think our fielding was at par, dropping a couple of catches, and then our ground fielding was not up to the mark. (There are plenty of learnings from this game for you as well?) Yeah, definitely, you know, this is, like you said, one of those games that we’d like to forget and start over in Mohali,” Shubman Gill said.

“No, it’s (fielding errors) definitely something that we do address in the team meetings and also in the practice sessions. But like I said, I don’t think it was our day, the intensity was right there, but under pressure situations, we were not up to the mark,” he again shared.

He was also asked whether he was confident about chasing such a massive total.

“I mean, it’s all about getting a good start, you know. If you get a good powerplay, and on a ground like this we know the ball travels and the outfield is also very quick. So if you had gotten off to a good start in the powerplay, any target, with the way the wicket was playing and the kind of ground that we were playing at, it could have been chaseable,” Shubman Gill concluded.

Shubman Gill’s Gujarat Titans would now play against the winner of the Eliminator contest between the Rajasthan Royals and the Sunrisers Hyderabad as well.
