Decision to use black soil pitch against MI was taken ahead of season: Shubman Gill
AHMEDABAD: (Mar 29) Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill said on Saturday that the decision to play the IPL match against Mumbai Indians on a black soil pitch was taken even before the tournament began in the hope of keeping a potent MI line-up muffled.
The plan worked to perfection as the Mumbai batters struggled in the chase of 197, ending up at 160 for six and suffered a 36-run defeat.
"The decision was taken before the first match that the second match (vs MI) will be played on black soil. Yes, that was a factor as well, (MI's strong batting line-up), but this wicket suited us," said Gill in the post-match presentation.
