Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill expressed his disappointment after his team’s loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL final. Gill acknowledged that the early loss of wickets prevented his team from building momentum, resulting in a below-par total of 155 for eight. He believed that a score of 180 to 190 would have given them a fighting chance against RCB.
The top three batsmen, including Gill himself, failed to make a significant impact, and the middle-order struggled to make up for it. Virat Kohli’s unbeaten 75 runs played a crucial role in RCB’s comfortable victory with two overs to spare.
Gill admitted that RCB’s aggressive batting in the PowerPlay, where they scored 62 runs, made it difficult for Gujarat Titans to stage a comeback. Despite the loss, Gill reflected on the team’s strong bowling performances throughout the tournament, which helped them win nine games in the group stage after losing the first two matches.
While disappointed with the final result, Gill remained proud of his team’s efforts and their ability to bounce back after a slow start. He emphasized the importance of continuous improvement, even in victory, and acknowledged that there were areas they could have worked on regardless of the outcome.
Overall, Gujarat Titans had a successful season, but fell short in the final hurdle against a formidable RCB side. Gill’s reflections highlighted the team’s resilience and determination to compete at the highest level in the IPL.
