Half-centuries by Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler saw Gujarat post a massive total of 224\/6 in the first innings at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Despite Abhishek Sharma\u2019s 74-run fighting knock, there was not enough fight by the batters to chase it down, and they fizzled to 186\/6.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sunrisers have won only three of their 10 games so far this season, and their fate now depends on other fixtures going their way. However, Cummins believes that hope is still there for the franchise, given the mega auctions that took place in 2024, ensuring the core of the team will remain the same for years to follow.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cOur power-play with the bat wasn't too great. I was as guilty as anyone else. Probably let them get 20-30 extra runs. Maybe hang on to one or two catches. Again, I am guilty there. Chasing 200 looked a bit more realistic. They are class batters. They don't do anything outlandish. If you bowl bad balls, they just put them away.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe probably dished out too many bad balls. It is a really good wicket. Going for 140 in the last 14 overs was good on the bowling part. Sharma batted nicely. Nitish at the end. Left a little too much and too late for the batters. We can cling to some hope. Big auction last year. The core of the group will be there for three years,\u201d said Cummins during the post-game presentation on Friday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
