GT focused on top-two finish, not net run-rate: Sai Sudharsan

By PTI

AHMEDABAD, May 20:
Gujarat Titans may have
faced criticism for their con-
servative batting approach
but their opener B Sai Sud-
harsan said they are focused
on sealing a top-two finish
rather than obsessing over
net run-rate going into their
final IPL league match here
on Thursday.

GT have already secured
a playoff berth and are cur-
rently placed second on the
points table, but a victory
against already-eliminated
CSK would significantly
strengthen their chances of
finishing in the top two,
providing them two shots at
reaching the final.

“The first important thing
is to play good cricket and
win tomorrow,” Sudharsan
told reporters on the eve of
the game.

“We are not in a position
to think about winning by a
very big margin or getting a
very big win. It is about again
doing the right things which
we have been doing and first
getting a victory.

“If we are in that position,
yes, as every team we would
love to close it as smoothly
as possible or give ourselves
the best opportunity to be in
the top two,” the left-handed
opener added. (PTI)</
