PBKS vs GT Match Highlights: IPL 2024

In a gripping IPL 2024 match at Mullanpur, Rahul Tewatia emerged as the standout performer for Gujarat Titans, orchestrating a thrilling three-wicket win over Punjab Kings. Tewatia’s stellar unbeaten 36 from just 18 deliveries was pivotal in GT's successful chase of a 143-run target, securing the victory with five balls remaining.

The chase was set up by an exceptional bowling display from Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, who claimed impressive figures of 4 for 33, effectively curtailing PBKS’s batting line-up to a modest total of 142. This performance underpinned a crucial game for GT, reinforcing Kishore’s role as a key player in the team’s strategic bowling attack.

Opening Drama and PBKS's Innings

Punjab Kings, under the leadership of stand-in skipper Sam Curran, started on a strong note after electing to bat first. Prabhsimran Singh was particularly aggressive, scoring 35 runs off just 21 balls. However, the innings took a turn for the worse after his dismissal by Mohit Sharma, who managed to get him caught behind.

This was a significant blow to PBKS, as they struggled to regain momentum. Sai Kishore's exceptional spin bowling further dismantled the middle and lower order, with Kishore finishing with figures of 4 for 33 in his four overs. His performance was crucial in restricting PBKS to a total of just 142 all out, achieved in the full quota of 20 overs.
