![]() The usual suspects combined, with Noor getting rid of Faf, Rashid knocking over Maxwell, and Noor getting Lomror stumped after that. The introduction of Noor Ahmad and Rashid Khan did it again. Can they defend this and get into the playoffs? Or do more twists await us tonight? Kohli was in full flow, aided ably by Anuj Rawat and together they lifted RCB to a VERY competitive 197-5. They don't quite get 64, but they get 61 in the last five, courtesy a second successive hundred from Virat Kohli, who now has the most IPL hundreds, and it couldn't have come at a more crucial time, in a must-win game for RCB. Can these two get the chase back on track? More importantly, they haven't been up to the mark with respect to the required run-rate. ![]() However, they struggled to get going in this phase, getting many of their runs through edges. However, Shankar and Gill played their shots and got GT to a respectable 51-1 at the end of the powerplay. And eventually Saha gave his wicket away, wilting under the pressure, once again to the master of the powerplay - Siraj. ![]() Mohammed Siraj and Wayne Parnell, both had a plan to Saha - nothing close to the bat. This is all leading to a thrilling finish, with Gujarat Titans holding the advantage simply because they've only lost two wickets! And then, he loses his wicket the very next ball. However, the Shubman barrage continued, despite Miller departing early and struggling to time the ball, and with 8 to win off the final over after some meaty blows, Shubman Gill single-handed carried Gujarat over the line, slamming a six for the winning runs and to get to a stunning hundred - his second of the season!ĩ7 runs in this 9 over phase, thanks to Shubman Gill, who got to his fifty, and some excellent hitting towards the end of this phase by Vijay Shankar, including a 106-meter six, to get to his fifty. And now they've lost Shanaka too, right after the wicket of Shankar.
