After Gujarat Titans’ dominant 8-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), skipper Shubman Gill credited his team’s bowling performance in the first 7-8 overs for setting up the victory.
💬 Gill at the Post-Match Presentation:
“Restricting them to 170 was a good effort. On this ground, you can either score 250 or get early wickets. There was something for the fast bowlers early on, and we knew that if we picked wickets upfront, we would be in the game.”
