Hardik Pandya became the first captain to elect to bat first in a night match in the ongoing tournament. However, the ploy backfired as GT were reduced to 44-3 right after the powerplay. A lone fifty from youngster Sai Sudharsan pushed the IPL team to a respectable total of 143-8.

Into the 🔝 half! 😍
