Gill Hails ‘Complete Performance’

GT beat CSK by 8 wickets. Sai Sudharsan led the charge with a fluent 87 off 46 balls, while Gill and Jos Buttler chipped in with useful knocks of 33 and an unbeaten 39 respectively. Despite the comfortable result, Gill admitted there were still areas his side needed to address. “Very happy to get a win like that in this part of India. Apart from the last four or five overs, it was a complete performance,” Gill said at the post-match presentation.

“If I have to be critical, finishing an innings has been a problem. We need to do better in that.”

Gill also revealed he had been undecided at the toss but ultimately chose to bowl, a decision that paid off as GT restricted CSK to 158/7. Kagiso Rabada starred with figures of 3/25, earning the Player of the Match award. Reflecting on the bowling changes, Gill said, “There was confusion in the middle. When Dube came in, I thought should we bowl Washy (Washington Sundar), but the game was in our hand. He (Manav Suthar) bowled a decent last over, gave 12 or 13. Pretty good effort from us.”

CSK Captain Says His Side Were Slow To React

On the other side, CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad admitted conditions were tricky. “Sometimes I hate to assess this way but it was challenging in the first innings. It was holding for the medium pacers and the bounce was up and down. We lost too many wickets but it was difficult to play some shots.” He added, “Not expected. It is hard to assess how it plays. This game we didn’t have any idea. By the time we wanted to adapt it was too late.”
