Play all audios:
Gujarat, having made the final in 66 years, suffered a severe blow early in the innings by losing in-form openers Priyank Kirit Panchal and Samit Gohel cheaply, their leading run getters in
the tournament. Gohel, who was dropped by teenage sensation Prithvi Shaw on the first ball of the innings on Monday, could only score four runs off 34 balls before being caught at first slip
off pace spearhead Shardul Thakur. Panchal, the season's leading run-getter with close to 1,300 runs, had a rare lean outing as he was caught behind off Abhishek Nayar after crawling
to six runs off 51 balls. Gujarat were under pressure after the fall of their prolific openers but Patel's plucky knock put the pressure back on Mumbai. What made Patel's job
easier was the way Juneja approached his innings. The right-hand batsmen joined his captain after the fall of Merai and with his aggressive intent put his team back in control.
