25 questions with Jonny Bairstow: Which is the worst way to get out? (and more)

9.15pm A spin strangle from Gujarat Titans after they lost the toss. The three spinners bowled 12 overs for 68 runs and took seven wickets, led by Sai Kishore's 4-33. Mohit and Omarzai were tidy too, and you wonder where this innings would've been if it wasn't for the 21-run over conceded by Warrier, mostly thanks to Prabhsimran's early assault. Three of Punjab's top seven finished on single digits, and that's simply not enough runs in a year which is the most batting friendly of them all. Credit also to them for smartly taking two reviews of top-order batters that were overturned after the umpire initially deemed them not out. Titans' game to lose when we return from the break. Alan Gardner will join you then.

Sai Kishore: Tried to play for the team. Grateful for the opportunity. Tried giving my 120%. I felt I showed slow it down. My instinct told me so, on this wicket. Into the wicket is the way to go in this surface. (Motivation levels when in and out of team) It plays a part but team comes first I feel. About being ready about opportunity and being honest. That has not gone out of trend hopefully."

Jimmy : "Harpeeet has a lot of nerve to turn down not one but two singles while siting on 13 from 18 balls. Rabada just proved last match he can hit a SIX. "

Mustafa Moudi : "People criticising Curran's decision to promote himself should remember it was MS Dhoni who first promoted him as an open back in 2020 for CSK. And remember he was the one who promoted Rohit as Opener back 2009 and after 4 years, he proved his decision right. I am sure Curran will prove MSD Right in the near future !!"

Rabada. Hit a first-ball six against Mumbai Indians the other night

Johal: "I don't understand pbks management..they are giving chances to out of form players like bairstow ,russo ,Liam ,Sam and keeping the most in form player raza on the bench " -- he'd have been a handful on this surface tonight.

Sunny: "@Madhav Bhatia has not been asked to score 30 off, he's just here to build a partnership. They could have bowled out for less than 120."

So the man getting the big shots is gone and Sai Kishore finishes with 4-33.

Meanwhile Gujarat Titans make an impact sub: Warrier sits out. Sai Sudharsan comes in.

Madhav: "Harpreet Bhatia isn't the kind of player to hit 30 off 10. Even Harshal Patel can do that. Spinners are doing well so why not get Rahul Chahar?" -- you make a solid point

Gagan: "@desh, that is the problem. Even us muggles know what needs to be done. Only the PBKS management get it wrong. Nobody knows what they think! And it is for over a decade now as Sreshth pointed out."
