That's it from a rain hit encounter in the Indian Premier League. Ninaad Dixit here signing off on behalf of my co-commentator AkshayaKrishna Polya and scorer Paras Yadav. Stay tuned for more cricketing action around the world.
Josh Little (Player of the Match): "I talked to Hardik before the game and was trying to keep it as simple as possible on this wicket and hitting a hard length as consistently as I could so thankfully I could do that today.
First game of the season there are always gonna be nerves especially first game in the IPL but I have settled in nicely now and felt in good rhythm today."
Player of the Match: Joshua Little
Hardik Pandya (Gujarat Titans Captain): "After a long time I saw that the bowling team was bowling well and someone from the opposition was playing with conviction. They pulled it back squeezing those over. I would have taken 180 on any given day on this pitch.
Somewhere down the line, in a group we know that to win the game. No matter the situation, we have to play good cricket and that humbleness is helping us to win games from difficult situations because every time I see people want to contribute they want to face and come out of it.
He is a fitter Vijay Shankar more confident. The amount of hard work he has done is terrific. At one point of time it was looking it will go to the last over as well but the way he hit few hits, it just changed it and coming forward you will see lot of Vijay Shankar innings like this. I believe in life good guys go good places and he is one of them."
