Shubman Gill admits GT were ‘not up to mark’ in fielding after suffering RCB drubbing | Cricket

New Delhi: Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill rued the costly errors his team made while fielding against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Qualifier 1 at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala. The Titans dropped as many as three catches, including the costly one of RCB captain Rajat Patidar, who effectively killed the game after his unbeaten 93 from 33 balls.ย  Patidar was on 20 when Kagiso Rabada put down the RCB skipper, who miscued one to deep square leg off Prasidh Krishna. That proved the most costly one for GT, who had also missed a run-out chance. "I think we…
