Watched the highlights. Rohit made GT pay for their butter fingers. Mendis had a horrid day. Happy to see Washington batting the way he did. I have criticized his batting being unsuitable for limited overs at the international level but in the two good innings he has played in the few chances he has got this season, he has shown signs of brilliance. Boy! What a ball it took to get rid of him. I hope he translates his batting form for India as well.
GT batsmen played exceedingly well despite losing Gill early to the Kiwi smiling assassin. Mendis got out unfortunately and at the wrong time.
Like I have said, GT have wasted money on Tewatia. Glenn Phillips' unavailability in the absence of Buttler was a shot in the arm too.
All in all I am happily surprised they made it this far with the squad they had and being marred with unavailability of key players during the season (Phillips and Rabada).
The bright spots that I can see from this season is Sai Sudarshan transforming into a completely different player, Prasidh Krishna and Sai Kishore being shown a lot of faith on and Washington getting the chance to showcase his batting prowess.
