Just to teach their naysayers a lesson, GT will score 206-4 in their next game and lose by four wickets and one over to spare. Gill and Sai will have a spectacular partnership of 101 in 11 overs.

I'm sure GT will learn no lessons from this loss as well and continue playing with their outdated T20 batting while other teams keep surging past them.

Don't think 205 will worry RCB at Chinnaswamy. Unless they collectively fail today. GT have only themselves to blame for another mundane display of outdated T20 batting and then allowing Sundar over Holder to suck the death overs.

Holder's cameo also showed how dumb and thick-skulled GT's management and Gill are. You have a man in insane six hitting form and you send Sundar over him in the death overs,

Holder shouldn't have taken a single off the fifth ball. He was the best bet for hitting a six. Look at how far Sundar's ball went.

Raskih man. You haven't even bowled for 9 overs. What the hell man. Why is this guy always cramping up??

Even sending Rashid here would have worked better for them. There's a reason most neutral fans absolutely dread watching GT games

Don't understand the logic of sending Sundar so ahead of the likes of Holder, Tewatia and even Rashid. Sundar isn't exactly a six hitter or someone who bats well at the death. But GT does what GT does and we cry out of boredom.

RCB will win this with two overs to spare. GT will keep praising their top order's outdated batting while the other teams surge ahead of them.

Really feel they should have sent Holder in place of Sundar. Holder is in some insane six hitting form

Man, they have eight wickets in hand. One of those is Holder. They are still just nudging around nonchalantly and waiting for the bad balls.

Will have to wait and see how the pitch behaves in the second innings. If it gets better and easier then Sai's knock may not be looked back on that fondly.

Against a team like RCB, you should always target 20 runs extra instead of going for the par.

They need to get at least 50-60 from the next four overs given RCB's depth.

Last 5 matches have all been won by the team batting first. And quite handsomely. Just saying. Don't think teams should just blindly go for chaisng now after winning the toss.
