Shastri made a mistake in the name of Gujarat
Before the coin of the toss bounced, Shastri introduced both the teams as a formality and here he made a mess. Shastri got the name of defending champion and home team Gujarat wrong. Shastri called Hardik’s team Gujarat Giants instead of Gujarat Titans.
Actually Gujarat Giants is the team of WPL, which was earlier a part of the recently concluded first season. As soon as Shastri took the name of Gujarat Giants, Hardik Pandya started laughing on the other side.
