GT vs DC: Post Match Reactions

Axar Patel (DC Captain): "I think we were 10-15 runs short, and that was the difference in the end. We lost wickets whenever we were trying to accelerate and couldn't build partnerships. We should have hit a few more boundaries. We bowled really well but missing a few catches here and there also cost us. No need to think much. It was just a matter of 1 or 2 hits and a few fielding lapses. We shouldn't repeat such mistakes."

Sai Sudharsan (GT ) was pleased with his batting conditions in the second innings and said he wanted to focus on timing rather than power. He said he trains for different reactions to deliveries and that he is continually evolving as a batsman by watching players like Jos Buttler, as he considers him to have a similar base and calmness in approach. 

Gujarat Titans (GT Captain) said his bowlers responded well after a good start from the Capitals. Although the Capitals built that early momentum, the Titans' bowlers came back to the game by following the plans. Gill said his team has been good in chasing throughout the season, and he was pleased with the calculated partnership being built by Jos Buttler and Sherfane Rutherford. Gill added that the team will be looking forward to their upcoming back-to-back matches.
 
Jos Buttler (Player of the Match) told the media that he was ecstatic with the win and with his performance. He acknowledged that the playing conditions were difficult given the degree as well as the importance of fitness in these matches. Buttler said it was great to bat with Rutherford, and he was proud to make a contribution with a win even if he just missed out on a century.
