“Critical overthrow from Odion on the fourth ball, gave up an extra run and brought Tewatia on strike. Surprised to not see a single yorker in Odion’s 20th over. Well done for @gujarat_titans, just ice cool under the pressure of super knocks #PBKSvGT #IPL2022 from @ShubmanGill & @rahultewatia02,” Jaffer tweeted.
Meanwhile, former India spinner Pragyan Ojha said that Punjab Kings will discuss Smith’s final over after the heartbreaking loss.
“What a game! Brilliant music by #RahulTewatia. But #PunjabKings will be referring to the single given by #odeansmith in his over while running out the batsman. Had he not done so, #rahultewatia would have remained at the non-striker’s end. ,” Ojha said on the KOO app.
Coming into the match, Shubman Gill’s scintillating 96 and Tewatia’s 13-run knock helped Gujarat Titans win a resounding victory.
