What was the oops moment for Gill?
Coming out for the toss alongside Ruturaj Gaikwad, Gill was confident with his team and wanted to make a statement in their first away match of the season. They narrowly beat Mumbai Indians on Sunday in their opening match. However, at the toss when he called right on Ruturaj’s spin of coin commentator and stadium announcer at that time Sanjay Manjrekar asked Gill about his decision on winning the toss.
Looking confident, GT captain Gill decided to bat first, however, he quickly changed his decision in a state of confusion and opted to bowl. This left the crowd, match referee and Majnrekar confused. Upon a deep breath though, Gill decided to take the field first and handed the batting initiative to CSK. A couple of minutes had seen Gill being on the embarrassing end of laughter, failing to recall his pre-meditated call for winning the toss.
What happened in the match?
Chennai did not have much to feel in the context of the decision as they scored 206/6 in their 20 overs. Shivam Dube was the top scorer in the innings with 51 while both Ruturaj and Rachin Ravindra scored 46 runs each. Daryl Mitchell (24) and Ajinkya Rahane (12) were also amongst the runner-getters for the home side during the match.
At the time of writing, GT were 43/2 after six overs as they struggled to reach the big total. Sai Sudharsan (11) and Vijay Shankar (10) were unbeaten in the middle for the GT as they still needed 163 runs to win.
