India openers Shubman Gill and Ruturaj Gaikwad shone with the bat, stroking 71 and 74 respectively to help set the base for the chase. Gaikwad's good form is heartening to see as the Chennai Super Kings opener is set to lead the Indian team in Asian Games 2023. Gill has also continued to score runs but he should now be looking to improve on finishing the matches for India in the chases.
