Appreciated the batting of Rashid and Tewatia :-

Praising the bowlers, Hardik said, “In this match I realized that bowling hard length is the right way, so Alzarri bowled late.

Having Rashid is always beneficial, he will get you wickets and get some runs as well, but today my shot and Shubman’s shot was not right, we need to do better to make sure we don’t put the onus on these guys. Insert.”

Shubman Gill scored half-century :-

For Gujarat, Shubman Gill scored an inning of 63 runs while scoring a half-century. Captain Hardik Pandya scored 8 runs. Sai Sudarshan, who came to bat as an impact player, scored 22 runs. In the end Tewatia 15 not out and Rashid Khan 10 not out won the match with four balls to spare.
