IPL 2025: Narendra Modi Stadium mein hua toss ka bawaal!
April 9 ko Gujarat Titans (GT) aur Rajasthan Royals (RR) ke beech ek zabardast takkar hui jab Sanju Samson ne toss jeet kar Gujarat ko pehle batting karne ka challenge diya. Yeh match IPL 2025 ke schedule mein ek high-voltage encounter tha, aur dono teams full taiyaar nazar aayi.
Sanju Samson ka toss ke baad ka statement:
“Hum pehle bowling karna chahte the kyunki conditions aisi hain jahan dew aata hai. Har ek match IPL mein crucial hai. Peechle do matches ke momentum ko leke aage badhna hai. Team nayi hai, 6 players ko retain kiya, lekin naye chehre aaye hain. Hasaranga personal wajah se available nahi hai, toh Farooqi ko chance mila hai.”
GT ke captain Shubman Gill ka kehna tha:
“Main bhi toss jeet ke pehle bowling karta. Dew second innings mein aata hai, yeh past matches se samajh aaya hai. Lekin hum batting ke liye taiyaar hain. Top 3-4 batsmen agar run bana rahe hain, toh main khush hoon. Home run ab tak kaafi acha raha hai. Team mein koi change nahi hua.”
Pitch Report – Pommie Mbwanga aur Simon Katich ka analysis:
“Outfield ekdum billiards table jaisa hai! Boundary sizes – 60m ek taraf, 71m doosri taraf aur 73m straight. Pitch red soil ka bana hai, halka green grass ka tinge bhi hai. Lekin batting ke liye super surface hai. High scores ki umeed hai, toh jo team pehle batting kare, unko 220 ka target banana hoga.”
