Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill said the understanding of playing on tricky surfaces has helped the top-three including himself, Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler to do well in the IPL this season. The trio has scored the bulk of the runs for GT who are on course to make the play-offs.

Opting to bowl first, SRH failed to contain the GT top order, who posted a challenging 224 for six. Unadkat managed to pick up three wickets in the final over of the innings.
