Regarding their loss against Gujarat Titans, Vaibhav said that he is proud of his team for putting up a great fight.

Despite being in a terrible state, we put up a great fight as Arshdeep and Rabada bowled fantastic overs but unfortunately, ended up on the losing side. We are really proud of the comeback that we made,” said Vaibhav.
