Gujarat Titans skipper Hardik Pandya said his team "rightly deserves" a place in the play-offs of the Indian Premier League after a convincing 34-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad here on Monday.

Shubman Gill slammed 101 off just 58 balls -- his maiden IPL century -- to power GT to 188 for nine despite a late comeback by SRH's Bhuvneshwar Kumar (5/30).
In reply, SRH were restricted to 154 for nine, as GT became the first team to enter the play-offs this season.
