LSG vs GT: It's Always Pleasing To Contribute In A Win - Shubman Gill After Winning MoTM vs LSG

Shubman Gill had a terrible start to the new season of the IPL as he had gotten out for a duck. But after that he made amends as he scored two back to back half-centuries and got closer to getting his first IPL hundred.

But after those two knocks, he again went into a lull period where he didn’t score many runs.

But on Tuesday at the MCA stadium in Pune, he delivered a player of the match performance for Gujarat Titans as they became the first team to qualify for the playoff this season.

GT best LSG by 62 runs in a game where they had posted just 144 while batting first. It was mainly due to the efforts of Shubman Gill who scored 63 runs off 49 balls.

Not Many People Had Given Us The Chace Before The Season: Shubman Gill

Shubman Gill in the post-match presentation said, “It’s quite pleasing. When you’re there till the end, you finish the match for your team. It was one of the goals I had before the start of the season that I want to finish at least three or four matches for the team.”

When asked about the conditions while batting he said, “I didn’t expect the ball to seam as much in the start but it was nipping around in the first three or four overs. I was expecting their spinners to get turn. I felt that they didn’t bowl up as much. If Krunal would have bowled up, it would have been difficult for us. But he was bowling short, a bit conservative and it was easy for us to maneuver around and we kept on picking those singles which are important on these type of wickets.

On becoming the first team to qualify for the playoffs he said, “Coming into the season, not many people gave us a chance or thought we’d qualify but here we are sitting on top of the table so it feels pretty good.”

GT would hope that Gill can continue the same form going ahead in the tournament.
