Gujarat Titans (GT) have been performing well in the ongoing IPL 2026. Captain Shubman Gill shared his views after a convincing win over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). GT posted 168/5 on the board before restricting SRH to 82 runs at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Tuesday.
“Definitely, like you spoke at the toss. Teams batting first have done well, and it worked out for us pretty nicely. But I think we bowled very well. 170 on this kind of a wicket, we always knew it was going to be tricky. If we bowl well, we’ll always be in the game,” Gill said after the match, giving rivals a clear message about his and his team’s preparedness to go the distance this season.
He also revealed that the dressing room discussions during the innings revolved around reaching the 160-170 rather than chasing a massive total as well.
“Yes, sir. We spoke about, if we get anywhere close to 160-170, I think it’s gonna be. It won’t be easy for them, especially with our bowling attack. So that was the chat in the middle,” Gill said. “Yeah, definitely. But also, I think the way Sai (Sudharsan) and Washi (Sundar) batted, getting us close to 170 at one point, it looked difficult to reach there. And also, the way we bowled in the Power-play, we have been bowling pretty well in the Power-play. So, kudos to both of our bowlers,” he added.
“Honestly, it’s all about still being consistent, still trying to be as ruthless as we can. And, you know, we play the kind of cricket, we are not the kind of team that play a particular style or brand of cricket. We want to be the team that sees the wicket and assesses the condition. If it’s a batting first, 240 wickets, go for it. But it’s also important to assess that the wicket is not that easy to get those 170-180 runs, that’s better than getting 140-150,” he added.
“Yeah, definitely. He’s such an experienced campaigner and the kind of length he’s been hitting, and he’s been very relentless for us, bowling almost in every game, four overs on the trot. Not easy in this weather, but he’s doing a terrific job for us,” Shubman Gill concluded.
