Gujarat Titans (GT) returned to winning ways with a close 6-wicket win over Punjab Kings (PBKS). They joined the Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants at the top of the table with 6 points after four matches in the 2023 IPL. Mohit Sharma, the Titans’ pacer, was the show’s star when he returned from injury. He played a crucial role in one of the game’s turning points. By the seventh over, the Kings had lost three wickets and needed Jitesh Sharma and Bhanuka Rajapaksa to put together a combination.
Even though the two openers worked slowly together, the team’s score went from 55/3 to 92, and Mohit got a big wicket by getting Jitesh to edge the ball. But the bowler and the captain were curious if they had the edge, while Saha, the keeper, was inevitable. Saha looked at the captain, Hardik Pandya, and made a sign like he heard a sound. This made Pandya take a look at what was going on.
The review showed that there was a clear spike in the UltraEdge. The bowler and the captain were happy to see that Saha was correct and hugged him. As the Titans finally ended their partnership, the video of the dismissal went viral on the internet.
Shahrukh Khan did his best to save Punjab’s innings with a cameo of 22 runs off 9 balls. However, Rajapaksa’s poor 20 runs off 26 balls took all the momentum away from the Men in Red’s innings. On a good Mohali surface, the Punjab Kings’ final score of 153/8 was below par. Even though the bowlers did their best to keep the game going until the last over, the goal could have been higher, and the Titans reached it with 6 wickets in hand.
