Shubman Gill's statement, When he was batting, he defeated us. When he was bowling, his execution was precise. We encouraged ourselves to score well in the powerplay, but when our innings faltered, we could not do anything.
In T20 you always talk about 10-15 runs here and there, but it is all about how much he scored. We expected to chase 190 or 200, but we could have talked about how to hit some boundaries. This pitch was good. We were hopeful that we could achieve the target. But we disappointed ourselves in batting.
Chennai Super Kings, who came to bat first, made a great start with brilliant innings by Rachin Ravindra (46 runs on 20 balls) and captain Ruturaj Gaikwad (46 runs on 36 balls). Shivam Dubey (51 runs on 23 balls) played an aggressive innings in the middle order and scored 206/6.
