Chahal\u2019s spell of 2-28, along with Vijaykumar Vyshak\u2019s 3-34, ensured PBKS kept GT to 162\/8, which they chased down with five balls to spare. \u201cYuzvendra Chahal is very smart. He changes his line, length, varies his speeds, you name it. He didn\u2019t try too many variations in terms of how he set up the batter. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cHe kept bowling slightly wider and was very smart in that sense. He looked at the conditions and then aimed for the bigger side of the ground. He knew that if someone had to take him on that side, they had to connect really well, which they couldn\u2019t. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cHe got a wicket, and those wickets of Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler came at the right time for Punjab Kings, because Gill was looking good to capitalise on a strong start. Unfortunately for GT, their usual approach of having one batter anchor through 15 overs, which generally gives them an advantage, didn\u2019t quite work out,\u201d said Kumble on JioHotstar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Kumble also questioned GT\u2019s use of pacer Prasidh Krishna, who was introduced only in the 13th over, saying the Purple Cap holder from last year\u2019s season should have been bowled earlier in the innings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt was very surprising that the Gujarat Titans brought in Prasidh Krishna, the Purple Cap holder, only in the 13th over. The first one, of course, was a lucky breakthrough. Shreyas Iyer had been hit on the hand a couple of balls earlier, so maybe there was a loss in concentration. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t hold him back like that, and that\u2019s why the last over of Prasidh Krishna went for 14 runs. For GT\u2019s sake, Prasidh should have possibly bowled at least one over between the 6th and 10th overs, because he was ideally suited to that surface,\u201d he added. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
