A high-voltage match was played between Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Gujarat Titans, who came to bat first after losing the toss, scored 209 runs for the loss of four wickets in the stipulated 20 overs with the help of half-centuries from captain Shubman Gill and Butler. In response, Rajasthan Royals registered a historic victory by achieving the target in 15.5 overs on the basis of Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s stormy century. GT’s captain looked very disappointed after the defeat despite scoring such a big score. He blamed his fielder for this.
After losing the match, Shubman Gill said that they took the game away from us in the powerplay itself and the credit goes to them. There were some things that we could have done better, but it is very easy to talk about such things while sitting outside. Regarding Jos Buttler dropping the catch of Yashasvi Jaiswal on the very first ball of the second over, he said that we got some chances early, but we could not take advantage of them, but now I think there are some areas on which we need to work as a team.
Regarding his exclusion in the second innings, he said that I felt a little cramp in my back. We have to play another match after this match. So the physio did not want to take any risk. Whatever happened in the last match, win or lose, we take each match as it is. The next match is in Ahmedabad, we have performed well there. So hopefully we will be able to continue this.
