RR vs GT Highlights: Gill, Rashid shine as Gujarat rise to No. 2 in points table after huge win over Rajasthan

Rashid Khan beats Shubman Gill to win the Player of the Match award for his 4 for 33 figures today.

"Quite happy. It was something unusual for me (last two seasons). This season, more about enjoying myself and hitting the right areas consistently. Happy with that (so far). When I had that surgery, I took only two months to get back. That time, I made a huge mistake (of coming back soon). Last year, when IPL was over, I had 2-3 months off and tried to work on my fitness. The rhythm I bowl through the crease - it was something I was missing. Had a good Hundred competition and then kept on."

"We were just thinking to bowl good areas, they batted well. We were just thinking of how to cut down boundaries, so it was pretty good from them. (On Archer's performance tonight) It is cricket. There are some days when you cannot bowl how you want. He has been doing well for us, and I think he will be coming back strongly. We are going to look at what we can do better and learn from this game."
