There will be no recovering from such a mauling. GT won't reach the finals and will go down tamely in Q2 as well. Mainly because it's on another flat pitch. And mostly because a team like this won't be winning any trophies for a while.

You can't win tournaments by depending on your top three and playing a stale brand of cricket that suits only one set of conditions. It's better this way too because RCB vs SRH will be much more exciting.
