Captains and Player of the Match Words:
Gujarat Titans Captain Shubman Gill: "I think the way the boys held their nerves, and the way we bowled in the death overs, especially with the dew coming in, I thought it was special. With the dew, how the spinners bowled, they made sure we stayed in the game. It was all about putting on the pressure [on the batters]. [Mohit] has been a revelation for us since he joined us last year and hopefully he can continue his form. We just wanted them to feel under pressure. The plan was to keep building the pressure and wait for them to make a mistake. [On their total] I thought 170 was a good score but we definitely left 10-15 runs out there. Even with them, they were scoring above par but with the old ball and the pitch being slow, it's difficult to hit."
Hardik Pandya: "Obviously we back ourselves to chase those 42 runs [in the last five overs] but it was one of those days where we see the score quite less in those last five overs, we lost a bit of momentum there. It feels good to be back because this is one stadium where you can enjoy and feel the atmosphere quite lively and obviously the crowd was full and they got a good game as well. [On Tilak turning down the single to David] I think Tilak felt that was a better idea at that point of time. I completely back him. Not an issue, 13 games to go."
Player of the Match, Sai Sudharsan: "Even in the first innings it was a little bit difficult. Dew helped them go after the bowlers but I think we pulled off a great game today. I'm not taking it as pressure, I'm just taking it as an opportunity to express myself and help my team win. After a few balls I felt it's not that kind of a wicket where you go after the ball every over. So I felt building the game was more important. I was actually a bit shocked for getting the player of the match because there were many great contributions [from the bowlers]. [On bowling plans] Taking the pace off was the plan. Even I found it difficult."
