A Game Deserving of Being the Season’s Final League Stage Game! Kohli and FaF helped RCB get off to a fast start, but none of the other middle-order hitters were able to capitalise on Kohli’s success at one end. The master batted steadily throughout the entire innings, ending it unbeaten on 101 from 61 deliveries. The best bowler was Rashid Khan, who only gave up 6 runs per over while also taking a significant wicket in Glenn Maxwell. A target of 198 was never going to be simple, but Gill and Saha approached the game with the right attitude. Vijay Shankar, who was batting third, amassed a 123-run stand off just 71 deliveries to take the lead. With 8 maximums and 5 fours, Shubman Gill reached his second century of the year and once again astounded everyone with his exceptional shotmaking. With 5 balls remaining, the required total was reached. crashes out and MI makes the postseason.
Player of the Game is Shubman Gill.
Shubman Gill said “I’m in good shape; the key is to get off to a strong start and build on it. I’m relieved that everything is going well for me at this stage of the competition. In T20 cricket, you need to keep making shots. The new ball had some holding power and became simpler to bat with. Their spinners found it challenging to bowl. I advised Vijay Shankar to maintain his shape because he was working too hard. Once he gained momentum, he can also hit far. Playing in Chennai against Chennai in a qualifier will be intriguing. We have a strong bowling lineup, so perhaps we can advance to the championship game twice in a row.
