Gujarat Titans seemed unbeatable after a big total on the board, but then the game slipped out of their control.
GT easily scored over 200 runs with strong top-order batting. Usually that’s enough to win, but this time it didn’t feel convincing.
A former India cricketer said, “GT might be the only team slowing down this tournament.” This has raised questions about GT’s mindset.
He said Sai Sudharsan scored a century, but GT slowed down in the last four overs. Unlike other teams, they get slower at the end instead of speeding up.
He pointed out GT’s highest score in the last four overs is 42, but in this match, they only managed 35 runs, with just 17 runs from the 17th to 19th over and no boundaries, despite having wickets left. They keep missing out on big totals because they don’t finish strong.
He praised Sai Sudharsan for scoring hundreds every year and playing clean cricket, but said the rest of the Gujarat team has problems.
Chopra said Gujarat needs to rethink using Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, and Washington Sundar, as their current approach isn’t working.
It’s not just one loss for GT; fans and experts now wonder if they’re losing momentum at the worst time. Will they fix this? Only time will tell.
