Following the loss of Gujarat Titans (GT) in the final ball thriller, former Indian cricketer Akash Chopra welcomed Pace Spierhead Jasprit Bumrah for his Valent Spell, who used to play about five -time champions, stating that he was entitled to be a “most expensive player” in the competition. Bumrah continued to add luxurious mantras to his list as his 2/19 figures prevented GT from chasing around 156 runs, but the revised target and situation for GT was sufficient after the rain as he ended the victory of six matches of MI and was going to the top of the table.
Speaking on ‘Match Center Live’ on Gehotstar, Geostar expert, Bumrah was said, “Bumrah has made a habit of producing game-changing mantras. After a strategic timeout and rain break, he is once swinging the heart to laugh. The league deserves to laugh.
In eight matches during the competition after returning from injury, Bumrah has taken 13 wickets at an average of 16.46 on an average with an average of 6.68 economy rate and 4/22’s best figure.
Speaking about Rahul Tawatia, who helped GT to complete the match with his 12*cameo, Akash described him as a “true clutch player” and also recalled that once during a conversation with the team’s head coach Ashish Nehra, Nehra told him that he was also ready to spend Rs 10 crore to bring him to the team.
“Many Indians cannot bat effectively on that number. He often faces a handful of delivery and expects to clean the ropes every time. Today, he had only six balls – he hit a significant four. To add MI’s troubles, he had five fields in the finals in the finals.
Since joining GT as a finisher in 2022, Tawatia has scored 559 runs for franchise in 40 innings in 40 innings at an average of 23.29 and a strike rate of over 151 with the best score of 43*.
Coming into the match, GT won the toss and opted for bowling first. A 71 -run stand between Will Jack (53 in 35 balls, with five fours and three sixes) and Suryakumar Yadav (35 in 24 balls, with five fours) were highlight as the wickets used to fall regularly, limit MI to 155/8 in their 20 overs.
Sai Kishore (2/34) was a bowlers’ pick for GT, while Mohammad Siraj, Prasad Krishna, Arshad Khan, Rashid Khan and Garald Koetzi took one wicket each.
The run-chase was a rollercaster ride for both teams. GT lost Sai Reformson quickly, but marked his 72 -run stand between skipper gill (43 in 43, three fours and one six) and Jose Butler (30 in 27 balls with 30, three fours and a six).
In the 14th over, with GT 107/2, a rain break was taken with GT according to the DLS method. After the break, Jasprit Bumrah (2/19) and Trent Bault (2/22) brought MI back to the game, dropping GT to 132/6 in 18 overs at the beginning of another rain break. This time, GT was behind.
When the game ended again, the revised target was another left with 147 runs. Rahul Tawatia (11*) and Garald Koetzi (12) finished work for GT, leading to a three-wicket win over a final ball thriller.
GT tops eight wins, three defeats and 16 points, while Mi ranks fourth with seven wins and five defeats, giving them 14 points. His six -match winning streak has finally broken.
