Overcoming middle-over miseries, the big-hitting Gujarat Titans batters exploited the death-over weakness of Mumbai Indians to post a challenging score of 207 for six at the Narendra Modi Stadium here on Tuesday. At the time of going to press, MI were 58-3 in 10 overs.

While Mumbai conceded 70 runs in last four overs, the middle-over woes for Gujarat Titans also continued as the Mumbai Indians spinners choked them while chipping away with three key wickets to counter opener Shubman Gill’s 56 (36 balls, 7x4,1x6) was a calculated assault and he employed pleasing cricketing shots. Gill was in his element as he stepped out against Piyush Chawla and played some pleasing drives with one eye-catching drive through the covers off Chawla, leaving fans in awe. He was equally elegant while playing wristy shots through the midwicket region.
