McCullum scored his first half-century this season but soon after, he was sent back to the pavilion by Lasith Malinga.

With the scoreboard reading 99/3, middle order batsmen Ishan Kishan (11) and Dinesh Karthik scored 54 runs in four overs to help Gujarat get past the 150-run mark before Ishan was taken by McClenaghan in the 18th over.

The fall of the wicket brought in Jason Roy (14), who supported Karthik at the other end with some good strokes and thus Gujarat finished at 176/4 in their allotted 20 overs.
