23:33 (IST)28 Mar 2022LucKLess Rahul 🙍🏻‍♂️😔

A change of team has not necessarily changed the fortunes of KL Rahul. Few teams have lost as many close-finishes as Punjab Kings—two defeats in the super-over last edition alone—in his reign. He began his Lucknow Super Giants reign on a similarly frustrating note, losing a match his team seemed to win before the Rahul Tewatia-David Miller duet. Rahul could not hide his dismay. He looked crestfallen and downcast as he plodded back to the dug-out. During the last few overs, when a defeat seemed inevitable, he cut an agitated figure, yelling at the erring bowlers and gesturing frantically at the sloppy fielders, and often cursing his wretched luck. When the game was finally over, he stood at the edge of the circle, near mid-off, where he was fielding and kept stroking his chin like a man who has lost all his hopes.

23:31 (IST)28 Mar 2022Krunal 1 - Hardik 0 in Kung Fu Pandya 🐼 Vs 🐻

Krunal Pandya veiled his joy with his palms after he ejected his brother Hardik. As soon as Manish Pandey completed the skier, and a crushed Hardik swiped his bat in the air in rage, Krunal turned away from his brother and covered his face in his arms. It was only after his brother trudged past him that he unveiled and flashed half a smile, reluctantly, almost like a formality. The feeling might have been strange—may have rekindled memories of backyard cricket when they were kids. Since then, they have almost always been inseparable, on the domestic circuit as well as in the IPL, where until last year, both had worn the Mumbai Indians jersey. Hardik, though, was in a fit of rage, not so much perhaps for giving his wicket to his brother as getting out at a crucial juncture of the match. Before the game, they had wished each other success. “He said he will win, I said I will win, and then we decided to let the best man win,” Krunal said before the toss. In the first bout between the brothers, Krunal, the elder one, bested his younger sibling. But there’s more to come.

23:25 (IST)28 Mar 2022Gujarat Titans win

Last over now. They need 11 and that`s a boundary. Is it a 4 or a 6? Very very tough call for the umpire. A four is given and another 4 to follow. Abhinav Manohar is just hitting them everywhere. Avesh does not know what to do. That`s a single to fine leg. Tewatia on strike. He hopes to finish this one off himself. And that`s the winning runs. A boundary to boot. Gujarat Titans win.

23:20 (IST)28 Mar 202219th over gone

Chameera back to bowl the 19th over. Abhinav Manohar promptly hits him for a straight four!!! Just clears out his front leg and swings. Another slower one and it`s inside edged and a single off it. This is going down the wire now. Another four now. Mishit and gone to third man for a boundary. 9 off the over. GT 148/5 after 19 overs.

23:11 (IST)28 Mar 2022WICKET!!!

Avesh Khan in to bowl the 18th and the result is the same. Miller just hits that slower delivery out of the park!! How high has that gone??? But but but!!! Miller is gone!!! He tries to hit another one and holes it out to Rahul. Huge wicket!!! GT 138/5 after 17.3 overs.

23:06 (IST)28 Mar 2022Tewatia lets loose

That has been swept for a 6!!! Ravi Bishnoi gets the same treatment from Tewatia. And a four, this time over short fine leg and into the boundary ropes. What an innings by Tewatia. Tewatia sweeps once again, and once again quite easily gets it over. Same ball, same result. A four!! Very expensive, given the circumstances. 17 off this over. GT 130/4 after 17 overs.

A vital 50-run partnership comes up between @DavidMillerSA12 & @rahultewatia02 💪Live - https://t.co/u8Y0KpnOQi#GTvLSG#TATAIPLpic.twitter.com/uWrtWL2QNb

— IndianPremierLeague (@IPL) March 28, 202223:01 (IST)28 Mar 2022SIXXXX FOURRRR FOURRR SIXXXX

Tewatia gets the memo and hits a 6 right off the second ball of Hooda. Goes downtown again and hits a four straight down the ground. Now there!! Is that a run out? Umpire referral. No, not out. He is safe. Miller hits a four now. The floodgates have opened now. What a sixxxx by Miller. Off the last ball of the over. That`s travelled quite some distance. 22 off this over. GT 113/4 after 16 overs.

22:56 (IST)28 Mar 2022LSG bowlers stifle Gujarat batters

15th over to start now and Gujarat Titans need to get going. They have been rattled by this LSG bowling attack. 33 balls since the last boundary. GT 91/4 after 15 overs
