Be it home or away, Gujarat Titans are marching along in style. Sai Sudharsan keeps piling on the runs at the top of the order along with Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler, and their bowling attack keeps showing the kind of quality and variety of options they have. KKR were completely outplayed in their own backyard and are falling behind in the race for the playoffs. That's all from this one. Until next time, it's a goodbye from Sagar Chawla on behalf of Siva, Venky and Abhinand Raghavendran!
Gill | GT captain and POTM: Very pleased. We spoke about these two matches - that they're going to decide where we stand on the table. Very pleased to get these two wins back to back. We just want to play our best game whenever we're out there. We never talk about that one of us has to stay till the end. We just talk about how we can score runs in these conditions and how to take the game deep. We were ahead in the game, but it's one thing to be ahead and another to close the game. So that was just some of my emotions coming out (talking about his animated celebration after Venky Iyer's wicket). In this format it's difficult to have a perfect game. There will always be some areas. LIke today as well - we could've got 10 runs more had I stayed there. And a couple of unforced errors in the bowling. But the main thing is even if you're not playing the perfect game, you've to find a way to win, and that's what we're really good at.
Sai Kishore:. There was enough purchase in the wicket. When we bowled in the second innings, there was more purchase. In such a track, that was a good total to defend. (On his duel with Russell) Just tried to change the angled bit so that the deviation is different. The situation was to attack, I wanted to go slow through the air and get the top-edge. (On Rashid) He's one of the best T20 bowlers in the world. He's getting his wicket-taking knack back. We all believe in him.
Rahane: 199 was chaseable, we came back into the game really well with the ball. When you are chasing 199, you expect good opening start with the batters, that's where throughout this tournament. I thought 199 chaseable on this wicket, we bowled really well, we faltered with the batting. we need to learn as quickly as possible and keep going. It was little slow, but we thought if we get them below 200, it'll be really good. We know these conditions really well, we need to bat properly, we need to bat well in the middle overs, that's where we are struggling. When you're chasing a big target, you expect a good start with the opening batters. That's what we are looking to get better, as a batting unit, no complains with our bowlers. Fielding is a part I always believe we can control as a team. If you can save 10-15 runs on the field,. that's always better. you got to be switched on, that's where we are lacking. This format is about being brave. You need to learn from the mistakes. As a batting unit, you got to be brave and take the positive mindset. It's just a matter of time, we've got quality batters in the middle order and I back them completely. Angkrish has been batting really well. Today we pushed the other boys to get the run-rate going up.
First time this season, KKR lost successive games.
