IPL 2024: 'We Were Targeting To Chase Down 45 Runs In Three Overs', Reveals GT Skipper Gill
After Gujarat Titans: After Gujarat Titans (GT) chased down a stiff 197 against Rajasthan Royals in a last-ball thriller at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Wednesday evening, captain Shubman Gill revealed that the mindset had become to chase down 45 in last three overs, which was a gettable equation for them.
Gill set up the chase for Titans’ with his 72 off 44 balls. But after he fell, RR had become the favourites to get the win at home. But Rashid Khan came out to bat, with 40 runs needed off 15 balls and slammed an unbeaten 24 off 11 balls, with Rahul Tewatia chipping in via 22, to seal a three-wicket win coming on the last ball.
"We were targeting 45 in three overs and that is very much gettable. Fifteen runs per over (means) you just need two hits in the over and that was the mindset at that time. Mathematically, both batsmen need to score nine-ball 22 runs and if you think like that, okay, its three hits in nine balls.”
