“With the kind of batting we have, chasing 131 shouldn’t have been a problem.” - Shubman Gill after DC loss

He shared the image with an emoji. However, after the DC loss, during the post-match press conference, Gill claimed that they should have chased down the target as the wicket was not so bad to bat. He said: “The wicket wasn’t so bad. We bowled really well. We couldn’t stitch partnerships in the top order, which created pressure on lower order. The wicket was tough to bat, but with the kind of batting we have, chasing 131 shouldn’t have been a problem.” Gill further heaped praises for DC spinners, Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav.

He added: “DC spinners bowled well and it was difficult to hit boundaries.” However, GT skipper Hardik Pandya remained not out on 59* runs off 53 balls during that chase. But, he failed to win the game. So, Gill was seen backing his captain despite the loss. “As a player and a batter, we are all bound to have one off day. It was just one of those off days where he backed himself, which every batter should. He backed himself to hit those runs, but DC bowlers bowled some good yorkers in the end,” Gill concluded.   

Here is how fans have reacted to the viral image:
