GT bowlers not successfully picking up wickets
In the match, Gujarat Titans bowlers were neither successful in picking up wickets nor were they good at stopping many runs. Only Sai Kishore bowled exceptionally well, conceding only 20 runs in 4 overs, and Rashid Khan picked up 2 wickets of two RCB openers. Except for these two, all the GT bowlers either went for runs, or weren’t successful in picking up wickets, which turned out to be the major factor in GT losing the match, and RCB emerging victoriously by 8 wickets.
