Although at the time of the toss, probably in a hurry, he first said that he wanted to bat, but he immediately corrected it and said that he would bowl first. After this, the batsmen of Chennai Super Kings took the brunt of the Gujarat batsmen and scored 206 runs in the stipulated 20 overs. Runs were being scored continuously, so Shubman Gill took a little more time to make the strategy and change the bowlers.
