Right then, Gujarat find themselves in a comfortable position and have given their strong bowling unit a massive total to defend. They will look to come out and take some early wickets but will not want to take the Mumbai batting lightly despite the score.Â
Shubman Gill, the star with the bat for Gujarat is down for a chat. He says that it feels nice and they have a good total on the board. Adds that he sweats a lot and some of it was going in his eyes as well and goes on to say that they play their best cricket on the back of a loss. Says that the dimensions are such that you can attack the bowlers and pick up twos as well on the bigger side. Mentions that there wasn't much grass and the ball was coming on nicely and the ball didn't swing for muc
Gujarat got off to a circumspect start and Wriddhiman Saha seemed to struggle out in the middle before losing his wicket. Sai Kishore played a supporting role in the 138-run partnership with Shubman Gill and was eventually brought off retired out on 43 to allow their hitters to come into play. Hardik Pandya scored 28 runs in 13 balls to help the reigning champions end strong but this inning was all about the Prince of Indian cricket. He looked to be absolutely comfortable from the word go as
We are finding it difficult to find words to describe Shubman Gill and the knock he has played today! His swashbuckling inning has helped the reigning champions reach a formidable total of 233 runs on the board. Mumbai have an uphill task to climb if they are to make it to the finals as their bowlers have been demolished in this game. They were able to stay disciplined in the first five overs but once the Gujarat batters began to up the ante, the game kept slipping from their grasp. Piyush Chawl

Also, Mumbai review the delivery for a wide call but the replays show that it is outside the tramline and the wide call will stand.

He looked to be absolutely comfortable from the word go as
We are finding it difficult to find words to describe Shubman Gill and the knock he has played today! His swashbuckling inning has helped the reigning champions reach a formidable total of 233 runs on the board. Mumbai have an uphill task to climb if they are to make it to the finals as their bowlers have been demolished in this game. They were able to stay disciplined in the first five overs but once the Gujarat batters began to up the ante, the game kept slipping from their grasp. Piyush Chawl

Says that the dimensions are such that you can attack the bowlers and pick up twos as well on the bigger side. Mentions that there wasn't much grass and the ball was coming on nicely and the ball didn't swing for muc
Gujarat got off to a circumspect start and Wriddhiman Saha seemed to struggle out in the middle before losing his wicket. Sai Kishore played a supporting role in the 138-run partnership with Shubman Gill and was eventually brought off retired out on 43 to allow their hitters to come into play. Hardik Pandya scored 28 runs in 13 balls to help the reigning champions end strong but this inning was all about the Prince of Indian cricket. He looked to be absolutely comfortable from the word go as
We are finding it difficult to find words to describe Shubman Gill and the knock he has played today! His swashbuckling inning has helped the reigning champions reach a formidable total of 233 runs on the board.

They were able to stay disciplined in the first five overs but once the Gujarat batters began to up the ante, the game kept slipping from their grasp. Piyush Chawl

Gujarat got off to a circumspect start and Wriddhiman Saha seemed to struggle out in the middle before losing his wicket. Sai Kishore played a supporting role in the 138-run partnership with Shubman Gill and was eventually brought off retired out on 43 to allow their hitters to come into play.

We are finding it difficult to find words to describe Shubman Gill and the knock he has played today!
