After the clash, GT skipper Shubman Gill took centre stage and talked about the performance that the side has put in against Royals. โYeah, definitely, even before this match, we had a conversation that till now I donโt think we had a perfect match. So very happy. I think this was a clean win for us. Definitely (would you say this was a perfect match?). I think we got above maybe 10-15 runs extra on the board,โ Gill said in the post-match presentation ceremony.ย
โWe thought there was a little bit in for the spinners in the middle. It wasnโt easy to hit sixes or get the boundaries. The ball was gripping a little bit. We got 230 runs on the board. We always knew, if we get a couple of wickets in the powerplay, weโre going to have a good game,โ he added.
