Gujarat Titans made many mistakes

In the final, Gujarat Titans had to bat first after losing the toss. The pitch was definitely difficult for batting, but Shubman Gill (10) and Sai Sudarshan (12) were out after playing bad shots. The team made a big change in the batting order in the final and sent Nishant Sindhu at number three, who slowed down the game. Jos Buttler, who came at number four, was also seen struggling. Sindhu scored 20 runs in 18 balls and Butler scored 19 runs in 23 balls, from here GT started lagging behind. The team was able to reach a respectable score of 155 due to the half-century innings of Washington Sundar (50).
