<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nNEW 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. Stand-in skipper Rashid Khan provided some reassurance, saying, \u201cHe’s good. Hopefully he’s gonna be alright for the next game. He just had the muscle spasm, so hopefully he’s gonna be alright soon.\u201dWhere GT Lost the GameRashid admitted the team started well both with the ball and bat but lost control during a crucial phase. \u201cI felt we have given a great start with the openers. And then I felt in the 12th and 13th overs, we lost back-to-back wickets. That’s something which really put us on the back foot.\u201dHe added that the target was achievable but momentum slipped away. \u201cOn the wicket like this, 9-10 per over, it’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’t allow us to go on.\u201dFinal Over & FightbackChasing 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.\u201dRashid also admitted he missed a key chance: \u201cThe one ball which he missed his line and length, I should have hit that for six.\u201dDespite the loss, Rashid remained optimistic about the season ahead. \u201cIt’s gonna be a long tournament and we learn from it and we come back stronger.\u201dOverall, 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\n
