Ahmedabad: Gujarat Titans spinner R Sai Kishore said that at no point during the Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Mumbai Indians did it feel like Shubman Gill was leading the team for the first time. Gujarat’s bowlers including Kishore performed brilliantly and played an important role in helping their team win by 6 runs.
Sai Kishore praised Shubman Gill a lot
Kishore said in the press conference after the match, ‘Shubman led the team well. At no time did it seem as if he was captaining for the first time. Even for me as a spinner, the inputs he gave were fantastic. Batting first, Gujarat Titans scored 168 runs for 6 wickets and then restricted Mumbai Indians to 162 runs.

Kishore said, ‘We felt that we had scored 10 runs less. But the way we have been prepared in the last two years, we insist on never giving up. Whether we win or lose, we take pride in the way we play. We competed really well. (Head coach) Ashish Nehra also said the same thing. He said, ‘Full credit goes to him for the team culture he has created in the last two years. We don’t think only about the result. We focus on competing and staying in the game.
Now Gujarat will face Chennai’s challenge
Gujarat Titans, captained by Shubman Gill, will next face Chennai Super Kings on March 26 at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. Last season, Chennai had won its fifth title by defeating Gujarat in the final. Now Shubman Army would definitely like to take revenge for last year’s final defeat.
