Hardik Pandya leads the Gujarat Titans, one of the new teams in the current IPL series.

Gujarat faced Mayank Agarwal-led Punjab Kings in a match played yesterday (08.04.2022).

Young player Shubman Gill

Punjab, who batted first in the match, were 189 for nine. Livingston top-scored with 64 runs. Shubman Gill, a young player from the Gujarat team who continued to score, was adding an impressive run.

Rahul Tewatia's shots

On the other hand, Gujarat needed 19 runs in the last over to win as the required run rate was high. Odean Smith delivered the last over. In the first four balls, Gujarat needed 12 runs to win the last two balls to add only 7 runs.

Rahul Tewatia, who faced the need to send both the balls to the sixes, rather than fly sixes in a row, left the entire cricket fan frozen in surprise. Also, Gujarat have won all three of their matches so far.

Captain's Activity

Following this, the Gujarat team players embraced Rahul Tewatia and Odean Smith was shocked. Not only that, he was approached by Captain Mayank Agarwal, who was near him. Agarwal, who spoke about their defeat after the match, said, "It was a tough game but we really fought hard. We were 5-7 runs short but we pulled it back after the start they had. There were a lot of positives for us. We did really well to get ourselves to that score after losing so many wickets, so we were very happy with that. We fought really hard on the field. It was great execution by both of them (Rabada and Arshdeep), fantastic effort by them to pull the game, they really got us in the game.”

Full support for him

He added,“Last over could have been anyone’s game. We totally back Odean, it’s fine, he probably had a hard game but that’s fine. We back him a 100%. It’s just a game of cricket, it could be a bitter one to swallow but it’s fine. The talk in the group is we always back the guys. If he has a bad day, he has bad day, no worries, we back him 100%.”

Praised Mayank

Earlier, in the Punjab team clash against Bangalore, youngster Raj Bawa made his debut in the IPL but was dismissed in the first ball itself. Captain Mayank Agarwal patted Bawa on the head and consoled him, which was well received by the fans.
