Ahmedabad, May 21:
Gujarat Titans may have faced criticism for their conservative batting approach but their opener B Sai Sudharsan said they are focused on sealing a top-two finish rather than obsessing over net run-rate going into their final IPL league match here on Thursday.
GT have already secured a playoff berth and are currently placed second on the points table, but a victory against already-eliminated CSK would significantly strengthen their chances of finishing in the top two, providing them two shots at reaching the final.
“The first important thing is to play good cricket and win tomorrow,” Sudharsan told reporters on the eve of the game.
“We are not in a position to think about winning by a very big margin or getting a very big win. It is about again doing the right things which we have been doing and first getting a victory.
“If we are in that position, yes, as every team we would love to close it as smoothly as possible or give ourselves the best opportunity to be in the top two,” the left-handed opener added.
