Deepak Chahal rattled the Gujarat Titans plans right at the start of the innings. Chahar sent back openers Wriddhiman Saha and Shubhman Gill with only 34 runs on the board. Gujarat Titans skipper was dismissed as he was trapped lbw for 8 runs (5 balls). Gill opted for a review which showed that he did not have any clue about the trajectory and line of the ball as well as his own position in front of the stumps.
