In the 35th match of IPL 2023, fans witnessed a high-scoring match between GT and MI. MI won the toss and opted to bowl first, hoping to restrict GT to a low total. However, GT had other plans as they put up an impressive total of 207/6 on the board.
Shubman Gill was the standout performer for GT, scoring a brisk 56 off just 34 deliveries. His innings included seven fours and one six, and it set the tone for GT's innings. David Miller also played a scintillating knock, scoring 46 runs off just 22 balls, which included two fours and four sixes. Abhinav Manohar's contribution of 42 off 21 balls with three fours and three sixes further bolstered GT's score.
MI's Piyush Chawla was the pick of the bowlers, taking two wickets, but it wasn't enough to stop GT from posting a mammoth total. MI needed to chase down 208 runs to win the match, and they got off to a shaky start as Rohit Sharma was dismissed early on for just four runs.
Nehal Wadhera tried to steady the innings with a quickfire 41 off 21 balls, which included three fours and three sixes. Cameron Green also played a handy innings, scoring 33 off 26 balls. However, the rest of the MI batsmen struggled to get going, and they were eventually bowled out for 152/9 in their allotted 20 overs.
Noor Ahmad was the star performer for GT, taking three wickets, while Mohit Sharma and Rashid Khan took two wickets each. GT won the match by a comprehensive margin of 55 runs, which was a testament to their dominant performance with both bat and ball.
In conclusion, GT's batting prowess and MI's lackluster performance with the bat made for an exciting match. GT's convincing win will surely boost their confidence, and they will look to carry their form into their next match. MI, on the other hand, will need to regroup and come up with a better performance in their next game.
Here's how Twitter reacted to GT's win against MI:
They used to say that Gujarat Titans can win only by chasing but now Captain HARDIK is showing them what he can do.🔝
