And then I felt in the 12th and 13th overs, we lost back-to-back wickets. <!-- -->That&#8217;s something which really put us on the back foot.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/> <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"wLCOS vdo_embedd\">\n<div class=\"ap_Bf\">\n<div class=\"ZM4zO\">\n<p><i class=\"bo2C4\"\/> <span>Watch<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <!-- -->\u2018Bowlers have it hard\u2019 \u2013 Glenn Phillips breaks down modern T20 cricket<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>He added that the target was achievable but momentum slipped away. \u201cOn the wicket like this, 9-10 per over, it&#8217;s not that the hard job to be done\u2026 but I think we just lost a few early quick wickets\u2026 which just didn&#8217;t allow us to go on.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>Final Over &amp; Fightback<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>Chasing 211, Gujarat needed 11 runs in the last over, but Tushar Deshpande held his nerve brilliantly. Rashid revealed the plan was simple: \u201cWell, the discussion was clear, like, we just need to hit one boundary.\u201d However, he credited the bowler, saying, \u201cI think Tushar bowled really well. He bowled some exceptional yorkers.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>Rashid also admitted he missed a key chance: \u201cThe one ball which he missed his line and length, I should have hit that for six.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>Despite the loss, Rashid remained optimistic about the season ahead. \u201cIt&#8217;s gonna be a long tournament and we learn from it and we come back stronger.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>Overall, while Gujarat fell short in a tight finish, the update on Gill\u2019s injury will be a big relief for the team going forward.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/ipl\/top-stories\/shubman-gill-injury-update-rashid-khan-sheds-light-on-gt-skipper-comeback-after-rr-loss\/articleshow\/130025890.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shubman Gill (BCCI\/IPL Photo) NEW DELHI: Gujarat Titans suffered a narrow 6-run loss to Rajasthan Royals in a high-scoring IPL clash, but the bigger talking point after the match was the fitness of their regular captain, Shubman Gill.
