Gujarat Titans (GT) got back to winning ways & won a nail bitter against Punjab Kings (PBKS). GT won the match by 6 wickets & chased down the target of 154 with 1 ball left and now have 3 wins in 4 matches. Rahul Tewatia against the run of play smashed a boundary when GT required 4 runs to win off 2 balls. Shubman Gill continued his purple patch as he played a fine knock of 67 runs in 49 balls & struck 7 fours and 1 six.

GT had got off to a flyer as they scored 56 runs in the power-play overs for the loss of 1 wicket. PBKS’ decision to include Kagiso Rabada in place of Sikandar Raza didn’t work well. Rabada was taken to the cleaners, he conceded 36 runs in his 4-over spell and took 1 wicket.

PBKS would rue their batting approach. Bhanuka Rajapaksa & Sam Curran couldn’t clear the fence despite getting their eye in on a batting track. It was the cameo of Shahrukh Khan of 22 runs in 9 balls at the back end of the innings which helped PBKS post a decent score of 153-8.

The experienced campaigner Mohit Sharma made the most of the opportunity. Mohit Sharma bamboozled the batters with the variations & took 2 wickets and gave away only 18 runs in his 4-over spell. The peculiarity of GT’s bowlers was that they made sure that they don’t bowl any freebies.

PBKS would be crestfallen with this performance as another 15-20 runs would have changed the result of the match. It won’t be a bad idea to make Shahrukh Khan bat at the No.4 or No.5 position, who can change the momentum of the match in the middle overs.

If there's one player I would rather not see playing against Punjab Kings, it's Rahul Tewatia, and I say this as a former fan.

Incredible Premier League . Every match from last week has been stretched up to the last ball. Really nail-biter matches.
Also free streaming of IPL in Jio Cinema is just crazy. This season literally has a different vibe.#IPL2023 #PBKSvsGT— Rushi Gandhi (@rushi_twts) April 13, 2023
