Gujarat Titans (GT) registered a three-wicket victory over Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Match 37 of the IPL 2024 season at Mullanpur on Sunday (April 21).

Opting to bat first, Punjab’s innings folded for a below-par 142 in 20 overs. Prabhsimran Singh was the top scorer with 35 off 21 balls.

Sai Kishore was the pick of the bowler for GT, claiming four wickets by conceding 33 runs in his four overs. Noor Ahmad (2-20), Mohit Sharma (2-32) and Rashid Khan (1-15) shared five scalps among them.

In reply, the Titans kept losing wickets at regular intervals but they eventually chased down the target with five deliveries to spare.

While Shubman Gill (35) and Sai Sudharsan (31) chipped in with crucial thirties at the top, Rahul Tewatia remained unbeaten on 36* off 18 balls to take GT over the line.

Harshal Patel (3-15) and Liam Livingstone (2-19) bowled impressive spells for PBKS but it was not enough for PBKS to defend the paltry total.

For their unbeaten knock in the chase, Rahul Tewatia received rich praise from the cricket fraternity on social media platform X.
