Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill ne Sunday ko IPL match mein Punjab Kings ke khilaf mili jeet ke baad kaha ki woh do points se khush hain, lekin maan liya ki match unki soch se zyada deep chala gaya.
Gujarat Titans official website ke mutabiq, GT ne PBKS ko 163/9 par rokne ke baad 167/6 ka target aakhri ball par haasil kiya. Gill ne post-match presentation mein kaha, "Would have liked to not take it as deep as we did. But two points!"
Gill ne kyun kaha match deep gaya?
Gill ne pitch ke baare mein bataya ki yeh aisi wicket nahi thi jahan 15-16 overs mein chase kar paate. Unhone kaha, "We always knew this is not the kind of wicket where we can chase it in 15-16 overs. If someone is set, they should go deep."
Captain ne yeh bhi maana ki length balls par runs banana aasaan nahi tha. Unhone Washington Sundar ki taareef ki jo match ko finish karne mein kaamyaab rahe. Gill ne kaha, "Lucky for us, Washy finished it off."
GT ki batting mein kya hua?
GT ne chase karte waqt kuch wickets gawaaye, lekin aakhri mein Washington Sundar ne team ko jeet dilayi. Gill ne batting ke dauran ek important knock khela, lekin match aakhri ball tak gaya.
Gill ne yeh bhi bataya ki is wicket par set batter ke liye deep jaana zaroori tha. Unhone kaha, "It was all about the kind of situation we are in, and the best batter (on sending out)."
Hamaari Baat: GT ke liye jeet zaroori thi, lekin concerns bhi hain
Seedha baat karein toh GT ne do points toh haasil kar liye, lekin match ko itna deep le jaana ek warning sign hai. PBKS ke khilaf 163 ka target aakhri ball tak chase karna — yeh aisi performance nahi hai jo consistent winning team dikhati hai.
Gill ne jo kaha ki "length balls weren't coming" — yeh pitch ko justify karta hai, lekin ek captain ko team ko confident finish bhi dena hota hai. Washington Sundar ne acha kiya, lekin GT ko apne middle order par kaam karna hoga.
Hamari nazar mein, GT ke liye yeh jeet toh acchi hai, lekin aane waale matches mein unhe batting mein aur stability dikhani hogi. Agar woh aise close matches jeetna chahte hain toh unhe powerplay aur middle overs mein better planning chahiye.
