The choice proved correct because the Bengaluru pacers found early movement. Opening bowler Josh Hazlewood provided the initial breakthrough by dismissing the damaging Jos Buttler for 12. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Soon after, Bhuvneshwar Kumar removed Gujarat captain Shubman Gill for 28 runs, breaking the core of the Titans top order. <\/span>Sai Sudharsan offered some resistance with a gradual 42 runs off 34 deliveries, but he struggled to speed up against high-quality spin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">All-rounder Krunal Pandya delivered a highly economical spell in the center overs, ending with excellent figures of two wickets for twenty-four runs in his 4 overs. A late cameo of 31 runs from Rahul Tewatia managed to push the Gujarat Titans to a modest total of 158\/7 of their allotted 20 overs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Listed below are some twitter reactions:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;Red.
