Looked like 210-220 wicket. We didn’t score much in last five overs: Shubman Gill | Cricket News

3 min readApr 1, 2026 12:35 AM IST Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill said his side’s failure to capitalise in the final five overs while batting proved decisive, as Punjab Kings outplayed them in their Indian Premier League opener here on Tuesday. Gill’s side, despite boasting a formidable batting line-up featuring Jos Buttler, Sai Sudharsan and Glenn Phillips, could not capitalise on a fairly good batting surface, managing only 162 for 6, and the skipper later admitted that a total in the range of 210–220 was achievable on the wicket. Punjab Kings’ Cooper Connolly made batting look effortless on the same surface, producing a fluent 72. “It looked like a 210-220 wicket. We thought 175 would be a good score, but we kept losing wickets and didn’t score much in the last five overs,” conceded Gill after the three-wicket loss. “Once the ball got older, it was difficult to hit it down the ground,” he added. Gill said that batting became easier later on, as a drizzle set in and the wet ball made it …
