🏏IPL 2023 - Qualifier 2: GT vs MI on 26/05/2023 at 8:00 PM IST🏏 - Page 2

What They Said:

He (Akash Madhwal) was part of the team last year as a support bowler, and once Jofra was gone, I knew he had skills and the character to do the job for us. Over the years we have seen many guys coming in from Mumbai Indians and playing for India. It is important to make them (youngsters) feel special and make them feel part of the team, my job is to just make them comfortable in the middle. They are very clear in their roles about what they need to do for the team and that's what you want - Rohit Sharma, MI captain, on Akash Madhwal's success.

I don't think we need to look much into it. We have to play two days later, we have to play one more game to make sure we reach the final. Just focus on the things that we've done really well this season. It would be a really good sight to meet him on Sunday if we can win the next game - Hardik Pandya, GT captain, following the loss against CSK in Qualifier 1

Post for Pitch Report from the stadium closer to the game

Edited to add:

Pitch report: "The dimensions first. We are slightly towards the eastern side, so one side is 63m and 68m on the other side, 74m downtown and some reasonable side pockets as well. There have been runs aplenty on pitch No. 7 - 204 batting first, 207 batting first, 227 batting first in the three games played," says Simon Doull. Matthew Hayden walks in to say "To me this wicket looks very, very patchy. Earlier in the season there was a lot more grass covering on it. Right now it looks like just rolled in grass which kind of gives the illusion that it is not too bad. Some quality spinners in both games and some upfront bowlers in the powerplay as well. This venue is the top 5 in the list of fours and sixes, but I'm not convinced we will get those big numbers (first innings scores) today. I think it is a 180 wicket at best."
