Gujarat Titans started the 17th season of IPL with a win under the captaincy of Shubman Gill. However, after this he had to face a shameful defeat in the second match. When Hardik Pandya returned to his old franchise after captaining him for 2 seasons, Gujarat Titans had announced the appointment of Shubman Gill as the new captain of the team. After this, everyone expected that the Gujarat team would be seen playing in its same old form and in their first match of the season against Mumbai Indians, they had won the match in a thrilling manner. After this, in the second match against Chennai Super Kings, they had to face a big defeat of 63 runs.
Gujarat got its biggest defeat in IPL history
This is Gujarat Giants team’s third season in IPL. The team’s excellent performance was seen in the first 2 seasons, in which they won the trophy in the year 2022, while in the year 2023 season, they managed to reach the finals, where they had to face defeat from Chennai Super Kings. Was lying. At the same time, their defeat of 63 runs in the match against CSK in the 17th season of IPL has become the biggest defeat in their IPL history so far. Earlier, Gujarat’s biggest defeat by a margin of runs was in the match against Mumbai Indians in the year 2023 when they had to face defeat by 23 runs. Apart from this, Chennai Super Kings’ biggest defeat by the margin of runs before this match was 15 runs against Gujarat Titans in the year 2023.
We lost because of bad batting
Shubman Gill said after the 63-run defeat against Chennai Super Kings that we could not perform at the level we expected in batting. We were not able to score runs quickly during the powerplay due to which we were seen only chasing in the match. On this wicket we expected to chase 190 to 200 runs, but the score became a little more than that. Our bowlers also got a chance to learn a lot from this match. I think this defeat we got at the beginning of the tournament was very good for us because now we have every chance of making a comeback because such a defeat in the middle and end could have put us in a very bad situation. While assuming the responsibility of captaincy, I am continuously getting to learn many different experiences.
