A game that had both possible outcomes. The Titans won the toss and got to bat first thanks to it. Although all of the GT batters got off to respectable starts, Sai Suddharsan and Vijay Shankar from Tamil Nadu caused the most harm. In order to assist the side reach their goal of 205, Vijay Shankar played a devastating knock of 63* off just 24 balls, while Sudharsan scored his second fifty of the season.The best bowler was Narine, who claimed three wickets, while Umesh Yadav bowled efficiently and gave up only 8 runs per over. The Knight Riders’ run pursuit didn’t get off to a good start because they cheaply lost Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Jagadeesan during the powerplay. However, KKR’s hopes were sustained by a partnership of 100(55) between Impact Player Venkatesh Iyer and Skipper Nitish Rana. Alzarri Joseph selected both of the set batters in quick succession, shifting the momentum in GT’s favour.Even though Rashid Khan, the team’s captain, was not having the greatest of days, he unexpectedly returned and scored the first hat trick of IPL 2023, eliminating any chance the visitors had of winning. Who would’ve thought Rinku Singh had other ideas? The batter scored 31 runs off the final pitch to send the club home decisively! On 48 from 21 balls, Rinku Singh was still unbeaten.
