Bengaluru: M. Chinnaswamy Stadium mein IPL 2025 ke RCB vs GT clash mein drama full on tha! Gujarat Titans ke skipper Shubman Gill ne match ke baad apne bowlers ki tareef karte hue team ki strategy ka raaz khola. Unhone kaha ki agar early wickets mil jaayein, toh Bengaluru ke khilaaf advantage milta hi hai.
“Is ground pe humne dekha hai… 170 pe rokna ek achhi koshish thi. Wicket kabhi-kabhi unpredictable hoti hai — ya toh 250 ban jaate hain ya phir early wickets mil jaate hain. Pehle 7-8 overs mein fast bowlers ke liye kuch tha, aur humein pata tha agar jaldi wickets mile toh game humare haath mein hoga.” — Shubman Gill
Match ke start mein hi ek bada turning point tab aaya jab Phil Salt ka catch wicketkeeper Jos Buttler ne chhod diya. Siraj ki short-pitched ball par Salt ne edge lagaya, lekin catch Buttler ke haathon se nikal kar seedha unke midriff pe lag gaya. Catch drop hone ke baad bhi Salt crease pe tik gaye.
“Disappointed zarur hote ho, lekin wapas aana padta hai… next opportunity grab karo. Humne pitch ko samajh ke professionally bat kiya. Yehi toh game hai — adapt karo aur situation ke according khelo.” — Shubman Gill
Lekin story yahin khatam nahi hoti. Catch drop karne ke baad Jos Buttler ne pura match palat diya! Unhone sirf apni galti ko sudhaara nahi, balki ek match-winning knock bhi kheli — 73* off 39 balls, jisme 5 chhoke aur 6 chakke bhi shamil the. Unki batting ke dum pe GT ne 170 ka target sirf 13 balls bacha ke chase kar liya aur 8 wickets se jeet dikhayi.
GT ki ye jeet sirf ek victory nahi thi, ye ek statement thi — pressure mein kaise bounce back karte hain, uska perfect example!
