PUNJAB KINGS

GUJARAT TITANS
154/4
LOCATION – Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali
The Gujarat Titans have won a low-scoring cliffhanger at the IS Bindra Stadium. GT bowlers did a good job of slowing down the scoring pace in the middle overs despite PBKS’s respectable start. Rashid Khan and Mohit Sharma both gave in at 4.50 and 6.50, respectively. After 2020, Mohit Sharma’s performance in the IPL was impressive, as two of his wickets came from slower ball variations.Going after a target of 154, GT started off strong. While Shubman Gill served as the match’s sheet anchor and scored 67 runs before being dismissed in the final over, Wriddhiman Saha played the role of the aggressor.PBKS managed to reenter the game after limiting GT’s scoring in the middle overs. Harpreet Brar bowled skipper Hardik Pandya out for a significant loss while also giving the batters nothing to work with. But when the team needed four runs off the final two balls, it was left to the ICE-MAN, Rahul Tewatia, who maintained his composure and managed to score. It was a bitter pill to swallow, but PBKS did well to turn this game into a match.
Player of the Game is Mohit Sharma
Mohit Sharma: “I enjoyed myself here. I debated adhering to my variations but instead talked to Hardik in the middle overs, which, fortunately, paid off. You must work hard in your workouts and give it your all. Stick to the fundamentals and bowl when necessary.
