He noted that even before this game, the group had discussed the idea that they had not yet produced their ideal outing, adding that the result was a \u201cclean win\u201d for Gujarat.<\/p>\n<p>On the scoreboard, Gujarat Titans compiled 229\/4 before restricting Rajasthan Royals to 152. Gill acknowledged the dominance, but still believed there were margins to tighten. He said they could have added another 10\u201315 runs, especially considering the conditions for hitters in the middle overs.<\/p>\n<p>Gill explained that while the team aimed to capitalise on opportunities, it was not easy to clear the boundary or find sixes consistently. He felt the batting plan had been to identify a window where spinners would face more pressure, and that the side managed the situation better than expected as the innings progressed.<\/p>\n<h2>Partnership focus, bowling intensity and a brief injury scare<\/h2>\n<p>The Gujarat captain also highlighted the role of partnerships and match awareness, particularly on a pitch that demanded careful execution. He described their intent as keeping wickets in hand and building a deep batting total, even if the boundaries didn\u2019t come at regular intervals.<\/p>\n<p>Gill referenced a specific stretch where scoring slowed\u2014during the 17th and 18th overs\u2014before saying the team compensated effectively in the final over. He praised the way they finished strongly despite earlier periods of limited boundary options.<\/p>\n<p>With the ball, Gill stressed that the team\u2019s mindset is to be aggressive from the start. He underscored the importance of holding their ground in the powerplay, arguing that the best route to controlling opponents is consistently taking wickets rather than relying on containment alone.<\/p>\n<p>He also confirmed a minor injury scare during Gujarat\u2019s innings. Gill said he twisted his ankle while running between the wickets, describing it as painful initially, but adding that it settled down after about half an hour.<\/p>\n<p>With the win, Gujarat Titans moved to four consecutive victories and climbed up the standings. Gill ended by focusing on maintaining that level of consistency, stating that the next match is at home and expressing hope the team can carry the momentum forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shubman Gill sounded calm and reflective after guiding Gujarat Titans to a commanding 77-run win over Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur,
