Following this, the Gujarat team played with a target of 196 to win. Saha and Chapman Gill, who made their debuts, formed a partnership of 69 for the first wicket and laid a good foundation.
But Hyderabad young bowler Umran Malik, who was bowling at the time, was followed by key Gujarat batsmen like Shubman Gill (22), skipper Hardik Pandya (10), Saha (68), David Miller (17) and Abhinav Manohar ducked out. Did.
So it took 56 runs to win the last 5 overs. Rahul Tewatia, a young player who was on the field at the time, put on a stellar performance. Rashid Khan on the other hand shook hands. So when 22 runs were required in the last over, Rashid Khan blasted 3 sixes in the last 3 balls to let Tewatia smash sixes and fours in one over. Gujarat won by 5 wickets.
Rahul Tewatia played for Rajasthan in the 2020 IPL. Then in a match against Punjab, he hit 5 sixes in the same over to lead the team to victory. He also took a few wickets in the bowling. Due to this, the Gujarat team bought him for a whopping Rs 9 crore in a recent IPL player auction.
Former India captain Virender Sehwag has praised Rahul Tewatia in this regard. In it, ‘The biggest burden fell on Tewatia after the dismissal of David Miller. Rashid Khan played a key role in reducing it. Even if Rashid Khan had fielded early, he would have been in a position to score a lot of impossible runs. Sehwag praises Tewatia for proving that she deserves a higher price for such outstanding performances.
