Let us tell you that in the 17th match of the tournament, Gujarat Titans batted first and scored 199 runs by losing 4 wickets in 20 overs. In reply, Punjab Kings achieved the target by losing seven wickets in 19.5 overs. After this defeat, Shubman Gill blamed poor fielding for the defeat. Gill said these things about fielding after the match.

What did Shubman Gill say

Some catches were missed. If you drop a catch on such a wicket, it is not easy to defend the target. In such circumstances, it becomes difficult to stop the run. The new ball was doing something. There are always areas needing improvement. I think the target of 200 runs was enough. We remained in the match till the 15th over.

When you drop the catch, you will be in trouble. The way Nalkande had bowled the last over in the last match, we had to give him a chance again. This is IPL for you. You haven't seen people, who come here and win matches.
