GT vs PBKS: Rahul Tewatia Plays an Incredible Scoop Shot to Get The Winning Runs

GT vs PBKS: Gujarat Titans’ all-rounder Rahul Tewatia has proved himself as a match-finisher in the past couple of years. He did the same in the GT vs PBKS game on April 13 as he played an incredible scoop shot in the final over to get the winning runs against Punjab Kings’ pacer Sam Curran.

Punjab Kings had posted a below-par total of 153-8 in their 20 overs. Moreover, despite the fact they were chasing a low total, Gujarat Titans’ batters made a mess of it as they needed 7 runs off the final over while they had lost 4 wickets.

GT vs PBKS: Watch Rahul Tewatia Plays an outrageous scoop shot against Sam Curran in the GT vs PBKS match

Shikhar Dhawan called left-arm pacer Sam Curran to bowl the final over against the Gujarat Titans. David Miller got a single on the first delivery. Furthermore, he brought in-form Shubman Gill on to the strike who had already scored 67 runs off just 48 deliveries.

While it looked like Shubman Gill will finish the game for the Gujarat Titans, Sam Curran knocked his stumps over to bring back Punjab Kings in the game. However, after the dismissal of Gill, Rahul Tewatia was sent in by Hardik Pandya expecting him to get the job done with the bat.

Rahul Tewatia and David Miller both got singles off the next two deliveries as the GT franchise now needed 4 runs off just 2 deliveries. Sam Curran was executing his plans to perfection. Consequently, the pressure was on Rahul Tewatia who had just faced a single delivery.

On the 5th delivery of the over, Sam Curran went for the length ball as Rahul Tewatia went down on his knees and played an outrageous scoop shot over the fine-leg fielder. The ball raced to the fence as Rahul Tewatia showed great temperament in the intense situation to seal victory for his side.

Tewatia had hit 5 sixes in an over against Sheldon Cottrell in the IPL 2020 and two consecutive sixes against Odean Smith in IPL 2022 winning both games for his team. The young batter once again proved his worth as a match-finisher in the GT vs PBKS game by scoring the winning runs.
