Punjab Kings find Indian pinch hitters in Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma

Synopsis: After a Shubman Gill special in Ahmedabad, Noor Ahmad nearly scripted a familiar nightmare for Punjab before Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma inspired a final over win.The lack of Indian pinch hitters down the order — it’s a shortcoming that’s often come to haunt Punjab Kings in IPL over the years. It looked to be the case on Thursday as well, with half their batting gone and 89 runs yet to be scored in the final eight overs. It was from here that Shashank Singh and Impact Player Ashutosh Sharma turned the tide for a three-wicket win. Shashank, the late bloomer, who hails from the town of Bhilai in Chattisgarh, played 10 games for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 2022 season but only amassed 69 runs during the course.

IPL 2023: Delhi redemption continues with stunning win over Gujarat

Shami masterclass keeps Delhi Capitals down to a low total, but Gujarat Titans’ batting fails to deliver despite late Tewatia slogs The first 30 minutes of Delhi Capitals’ five-run win over Gujarat Titans made the match in Ahmedabad on Tuesday feel like a foregone conclusion. A Mohammed Shami masterclass had Delhi slumped at 28-5 after the powerplay. But after a fighting flurry from Aman Khan and Ripal Patel at the death, and some outstanding bowling, the Capitals turned the match around to win their third in a low-scoring thriller. Tewatia blitz not enough If Delhi’s powerplay set them up for defeat, Gujarat – who stood at 31-3 after the first six – was nothing to write home about. Khaleel Ahmed started with a wicket-maiden, claiming Wriddhiman Saha off the final ball, and later Shubma...

IPL 2023: Rahul Tewatia reveals his secrete sauce behind how he perfected the role of a finisher

Needing 6 from 5 balls, Shubman Gill fell swinging across the line to a length delivery that skidded on to knock out the off stump.

IPL 2023: Shubman Gill, Rahul Tewatia help Gujarat Titans seal last-over thriller against Punjab Kings

Synopsis: Despite a late lull in the run chase, seamless Shubman Gill anchors Gujarat Titans to victory after strong bowling performance against Punjab Kings. As Punjab Kings walked out to defend the well-below-par total of 153 in Mohali on Thursday, skipper Shikhar Dhawan knew early wickets were imperative. He had a solid, varied bowling line-up to work with, but buoyed by form and confidence, the Gujarat Titans top order took them apart. At the heart of it was Shubham Gill, the freshly-anointed prince of all-format batting in India. Even as Wriddhiman Saha took the responsibility of being the early aggressor – hitting a 19-ball 31 that would prove to be the springboard as Gujarat notched a six-wicket win with a ball to spare – the magnetic ease of Gill’s strokeplay was on full display...

IPL 2023, PBKS vs GT emotional rollercoaster: Rahul Tewatia, a noun, a verb, an IPL emotion & Hardik Pandya ‘s aesthetic off drive

Rare miscue for Shikhar Shikhar Dhawan falls, moving down the track to a seamer. It doesn’t happen often. Usually, when he goes down the track, unlike many, Dhawan doesn’t try to smash the ball. He gets into a position from where he manoeuvres the ball either up and over or through gaps. He can go over off or on the leg side, twisting his body into position from where he unfurls the pick-up shot over leg or a more expansive drive through off. And that’s what he was looking exactly to do against Joshua Little in the 4th over. Down he went the track, twisted his body, and tried to pick-up the length ball over wide mid-on but instead, ended up miscuing a catch to mid-on. – Sriram Veera Out of the shell & smashing them For years, Matt Short has been grappling with self doubts.
