In a disappointing IPL Qualifier 1, the Gujarat Titans faced a 92-run defeat against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, prompting scrutiny over their performance. Glenn Phillips, who represented the team in the post-match press conference, expressed frustration at a journalist's question regarding the team's effort, labeling it a 'silly question.' He defended the decision to include Kulwant Khejroliya, who had only played his second match of the season, stating that the coaching staff had faith in his abilities. Phillips lamented the team's poor fielding, which he believed was pivotal in their loss, particularly highlighting missed catches that allowed RCB's Rajat Patidar to score 93 runs off just 33 balls. Despite the setback, Phillips emphasized that the Titans still have a chance to reach the IPL finals by winning Qualifier 2, urging the team to regroup and focus on the upcoming challenge.
