Gill: Gujarat Titans Didn’t Deserve to Win Against KKR
Gujarat Titans Fielding Falls Short Against KKR
Shubman Gill, the captain of Gujarat Titans, was critical of his team’s fielding after they dropped four catches, including three sitters, against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
Costly Dropped Chances
Finn Allen was dropped twice, once by Jason Holder when he was on 14 and then by Mohammed Siraj on 33 at long-on. Allen went on to score 93 off 35 balls, helping KKR amass 247, the highest score ever against GT in the IPL.
Cameron Green was also dropped on 23 by Arshad Khan, while Angkrish Raghuvanshi was put down by Washington Sundar at fine leg. Both batters scored unbeaten fifties.
Gill Reflects on the Game
Gill, however, brushed aside the loss and suggested that it was better for the bowlers to have an off day now rather than in the playoffs, if GT manage to make it.
Looking Ahead
“Best to have a game like this, 240-250 game, the bowling having an off day, a game like that now than in the qualifiers,” Gill said. “[We] rest and recover for a couple of days, travel back to Ahmedabad, and see how the wicket is and plan accordingly.”
GT are still second on the points table with 16 points and play Chennai Super Kings next at home on May 21.
