Meanwhile, Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat Titans won the toss and opted to bowl first. SRH opener Abhishek Sharma played a knock of 65 runs off 42 balls with 6 fours and 3 sixes. Aiden Markram also played a half-century knock of 56 runs off 40 balls with 2 fours and 3 sixes.

And towards the end of the innings, Shashank Singh played a cameo role where on the last 3 balls of SRH’s innings, he skyed the ball for three sixes. He scored 25 runs off 6 balls with 1 four and the 3 sixes. SRH then were able to set a competitive target of 195/6 for Gujarat.

Gujarat responded with a brilliant game from opener Wriddhiman Saha’s 68 off 38 balls with 11 fours and a six. But he was stunned by a yorker from Umran Malik’s almost 153 KPH ball. The heat on the ball was just too much to handle as when Saha tried to squeeze it away, the ball went on to hit the base of leg stump and Malik seemed all pumped up. SRH has lost 5 wickets and all were scalped by Umran Malik only.

Rahul Tewatia played an unbeaten 40 off 21 balls by smashing 4 fours and 2 sixes. In the penultimate over, on the crease were Rashid Khan and Rahul Tewatia who were to smash somehow 21 runs.
