The decision to go against the trend and bat first did not pay off but it is something Gujarat Titans needed to do to get out of their comfort zone ahead of the bigger battles that await them in the Indian Premier League (IPL), said skipper Hardik Pandya.
Titans, who lead the IPL points table with eight wins from 10 games and are set to reach the play-offs, lost to Punjab by eight wickets in Navi Mumbai on Tuesday.
Titatns struggled to 143 for eight which Punjab chased down in 16 overs.
