"GTs excellent bowling unit poised to test the well organised batting strength of LKG. Prospect of a great chase ." Thanks for that set-up, Hanumall. We'll be back soon for the chase. In the meantime, the mid-time show is on for entertainment and insight.

Shubman Gill: It was hot but the start we got off to, thanks to Wriddhi bhai, meant it was important for us continue going with the momentum. It was a good wicket, got a bit difficult as it was a dry wicket and the odd ball was stopping. But with the hard ball, it was coming on nicely. (On mixing power with style and skillful shots) It's all about practicing, knowing your game, work along with your technique to adapt. (On the 100) It was in my mind but I missed out on the bouncer I hit for a single. No worries though, there are 5-6 games left and hopefully I'll get my hundred in one of them. In the end, Titans put up the fourth-highest team total of the season

5:10pm: Gill gets a pat on the back from Miller as they walk back. Brilliant innings from Saha to set up a belligerent 78-run powerplay. Gill aided him before going over the boundaries. Hardik and Miller's cameos take GT to 227 for 2 on a hot Gujarat evening. Eight bowling options used by LSG, the spinners bowled a few good overs, the quicks figured out that going slow and into the pitch worked better but that was after enduring a lot of punishment earlier on.

Charvik : "Good no 100 for Gill, as IPL2023 hundreds are only on losing sides."
