After defeat in an exciting match against Punjab Kings (GT vs PBKS), Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill said in a post match presentation that
"I think we got opportunities while we were bowling and batting." A lot of runs were given. We also disappointed ourselves on the field. When we scored 18 runs in the middle three overs, and in the first three overs we did not score too much runs. Due to this we had to face defeat. It is never easy for someone (Vijayakumar Vaishaq) to come as an influential player to throw a yorker when you are sitting on the bench for 15 overs. He (Vijayakumar Vaishaq) should be credited to throw yorchor continuously. I mean there is always a good wicket for batting here. You can score 240-250 runs. ''
