rewrite this, Losing the toss worked wonders for Gujarat Titans as Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan laid a strong groundwork, scoring 58/0 within the powerplay.
Additionally, Sudharshan went on to score a splendid fifty off 32 deliveries taking the Gujarat scorecard to 107/0 in 10 overs. The Chennai brigade looked desperate for a wicket as Gill scored a brisk 25-ball fifty.
The duo took no stone unturn to slow down and cruised the scorecard to 143/0 in 12 overs. However, things continued to worry the visitors when Daryl Mitchell lost his temper when Tushar Deshpande’s lacklustre work gifted a six to the Gujarat Titans.
On the 14th over’s third ball, the Kiwi star delivered a length ball to Gill who aimed to launch it over long-off for a six. Despite striking it forcefully, the Gujarat skipper’s timing faltered, propelling the white rock toward long-off fielder Tushar Deshpande.
Simultaneously, the Mumbai bowler misjudged the ball’s path allowing it to slip past him, grazing Deshpande’s hand and sailing over for a six.
