"Never easy if we drop three sitters, it doesn't help" - Shubman Gill on GT's sloppy catching in IPL 2025 Eliminator

The Gujarat-based side let themselves down on the field, putting down three straightforward catches. Keeper Kusal Mendis was the culprit on two of those occasions.

Rohit Sharma got two reprives in the powerplay, while Suryakumar Yadav was dropped by Mendis in the 12th over. Speaking about his team's performance, here's what Shubman Gill said in the post-match presentation:

"Yeah definitely we were right in the game. Last three four overs didn't go our way but still a great game of cricket. Never easy if we drop three sitters, it doesn't help. The message was simple, just play the game you want to play and the goal was same for them, to win the game.

"The wicket did become a bit easy for us. Lot of positives for us, last two three games didn't went for us. It was a great season for Sai. 200-210 would have been par on this wicket. Saving those singles and doubles would have made a massive difference."

MI will now take on Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the Qualifier 2. The match will be played at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, June 1. The winner will join Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the final.
