We lost on the last ball of this match
Sanju Samson said in his statement after the defeat against Gujarat Titans team that I think the last ball of this match was where we lost this match. It is very difficult for me to speak right now. In this tournament, it is the most difficult task for any captain to give a statement after the defeat because it has to be explained due to which mistake we lost the match. I will definitely tell you when I control my emotions. Gujarat Titans team must be given credit for this victory. When I was batting, I felt that on this pitch a score of 180 is worth fighting for and 196 is a winning score. In the absence of dew, the bowlers should have done their job well.
Gujarat needed 15 runs in the last over, Rashid showed amazing performance
While chasing the target in this match, Gujarat Titans at one time lost half of their team till the score of 133, but they continued to score runs at a fast pace. In the last over, Gujarat needed 15 runs to win and in such a situation, Rashid Khan played an important role with the bat for the team in which he hit a four on the first ball to Avesh Khan who came to bowl the over, followed by 2 more runs on the second ball. With a four on the third over, he was reduced to just 5 runs in the last 3 balls to win. However, Gujarat got only one run on the fourth ball, while on the fifth ball they lost the wicket of Rahul Tewatia in the form of run out. After this, Gujarat needed 2 runs to win on the last ball and Rashid Khan gave his team the third win of this season with a four.
