While Kohli will now start mentally preparing himself for the WTC final, Gill would be thinking about helping Gujarat defend their title successfully. The first qualifier will take place on Tuesday between Gujarat and Chennai at the Chepauk.
“Obviously very disappointing. We got a really strong team tonight; excellent innings by Shuman Gill. There was a lot of grip in the second innings. I thought 195-200 was a good score. We needed that wicket of Shubman. From our batting perspective, our top four contributed really well… We missed a few runs consistently throughout the season, especially in the back-end of the innings. Perhaps in the middle [overs], we didn’t get as many wickets as we would have liked. We need a good middle order, and make sure we finish games off. Last season it was DK, but this season it wasn’t to be,” Du Plessis said after the match.
