Shubman Gill’s Direct Response After GT’s Third Loss In Five IPL 2024 Matches

The ongoing IPL season experienced its 12th 200-plus score when Delhi Capitals scored 224 for 4 against Gujarat Titans on Wednesday. Gill, after GT’s four-run loss, expressed that impact players play a role in making matches high scoring, providing cushion for the batters even if extra wickets are lost, allowing them to keep going till the end. He commended his team’s character and fighting spirit, despite the disappointing loss, and mentioned that they never felt out of the game. Gill also believed they could have restricted DC to around 200-210, but gave away extra runs in the last few overs.

He highlighted execution as crucial for bowlers in small, chaseable grounds. Winning skipper Pant made a stunning return after a year-long absence due to a serious car accident, smashing 88 not out in 43 balls. He was awarded the player of the match for his outstanding performance and expressed his delight in being back on the field after the injury. Pant emphasized the importance of every hour on the field and his love for being there, aiming to give his best and gain confidence from his performance in the match.
