Earlier, defending champions GT were off to a blistering start with both Wriddhiman Saha (81 off 43 balls) and Shubman Gill (94 not out off 51) going after the bowling from the word go, helping the team amass 78 runs in the powerplay. The two were involved in an opening partnership of 142 runs in just 12.1 overs. Shubman Gill | Player of the Match: They were going well in the powerplay but our bowlers bowled well especially Mohit bhai. They restrict their batting lineup to under 180 which was a great effort. Just to be able to share his (Saha) experience, I stand next to him at slip, it is phenomenal with the way he keeps going, he’s been playing since the first IPL season. I didn’t get much to bat in the first few overs but it is important to not get carried away with what your partner is doing. I had not hit sixes in the last two matches and today I struck a few, I always keep working on my skills.
