Sai Sudharsan and captain Shubman Gill scored well on the power play, helping the Gujarat Titans get off to a good start.

Ryan Rickleton made the catch with ease after Mujeeb Ur Rahman dismissed Jos Buttler, the team's main threat. He was scoring reasonably well at 39. Trent Boult removed the soaring Sudharsan for his fourth dismissal. Deepak Chahar and Satyanarayan Raju also scalped a wicket each to restrict GT to 196 at the loss of eight wickets.

He picked up 48 runs, while Tilak Varma scored 39 to do the power work.
