Social media has gone crazy praising Rahul Tewatia’s successive sixes in the last two balls of the match as Gujarat Titans (GT) thrashed Punjab Kings (PBKS) by six wickets in an IPL thriller at the Brabourne Stadium on Friday.
Tewatia snatched victory from the jaws of defeat by hitting Odion Smith for a six. Tewatia and David Miller scored a nine-ball 21 to 18 in the last five balls, when Miller scrambled for a single, Tewatia got the incredible job of hitting two sixes off the last two balls of the match and securing the win. It is for Gujarat Titans, who successfully chased down the target of 190.
The 28-year-old first threw Smith over deep mid-wicket and the fielder nearly caught him before falling over the rope. He then played a slog-sweep at the long-on boundary and led Gujarat Titans to a memorable victory.
Former India cricketer Virender Sehwag said that Punjab Kings should keep Tewatia’s statue in their dugout. “Wow Lord Tewatia,…Punjab Kings need his idol in the dugout. What a mind fade to accept an overthrow by (Odeon) Smith with 2 needed. #PBKSvGT,” tweeted Sehwag.

Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif wrote, ‘Forget the Titans, if Tewatiya was on the Titanic, it wouldn’t have sunk either. #GTvsPBKS.”
