IPL 2022: Loss to Punjab is a bitter pill to swallow – David Miller

 

Gujarat Titans batter David Miller said that the loss to Punjab Kings is a bitter pill to swallow for the team after they were beaten by eight wickets at the Dr. DY Sports Academy, Mumbai on Tuesday. The Titans were completely dominated by the Mohali-based franchise as the Mayank Agarwal-led team won with four overs to spare.

Gujarat could only post a sub-par score of 143 runs on the board after Hardik Pandya won the toss and decided to bat first. However, none of the Titans batters could get going in their batting innings except for Sai Sudharsan, who scored 65 runs off 50 balls.

Meanwhile, Gujarat Titans have been outstanding throughout the tournament as they have won eight out of their 10 matches.

“Our team environment is one of calm. (It is a) very relaxed environment. (The) guys are training hard and (are) extremely competitive and, obviously today (Tuesday), was quite a bitter pill to swallow, with the result,” Miller told the press.

“But that is going to happen through the campaign of an IPL, with so many games. So, hopefully, we got the bad game out the way.”

On the other hand, Miller added that they struggled to get going in their batting innings. Furthermore, the left-hander gave credit to Punjab Kings for simply outplaying them.

“Yeah, I mean, it is difficult when you are losing wickets throughout… well, especially in the first 10 overs, we were under the pump. But, I mean, I think there were one or two brilliant moments there from the (Punjab) Kings, with Gill getting run out with a direct hit – you never, sort of, wish that upon anyone. And then, once you start losing a couple of wickets, you are always behind the eight-ball,” Miller added.

Gujarat Titans will look to bounce back stronger in their upcoming matches. Gujarat Titans will next face Mumbai Indians at the Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai on Friday.
