‘Shubman Gill silenced Pat Cummins’ – Twitter reacts as Mohit Sharma-inspired GT thrash SRH to return to winning ways

GT vs SRH, IPL 2024 (1)

Gujarat Titans (GT), on Sunday (March 31), beat Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by seven wickets to register their second win in the ongoing IPL 2024. Chasing 163, the Gujarat-based outfit chased down the total with five balls remaining.

Wriddhiman Saha gave GT a fast start by scoring 25 runs off just 12 balls before being sent back by Shahbaz Ahmed. Captain Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan then added 38 runs for the second wicket before the former perished while trying to play a big shot. Gill stepped down the track against Mayank Markande and hit his shot straight to the fielder at long-on to depart for 36.

Sudharsan and David Miller did not let SRH capitalize on the breakthrough as they added 64 runs for the third wicket. Pat Cummins broke the stand in the 17th over by dismissing Sudharsan for 45 to reduce GT to 138 for 3. Miller and Vijay Shankar then shared an unbeaten 30-run stand to take GT home.

Earlier in the game, Mohit Sharma’s brilliant spell with the ball helped GT restrict free-scoring SRH to 162/8. Having scored 204 and 277 in their last two games, the Hyderabad-based outfit kept losing wickets at regular intervals against GT.

As a result, their innings never really got the impetus it needed. Mayank Agarwal’s poor run in IPL 2024 continued as he was dismissed for just 16. Travis Head did not last long either and was clean bowled by Noor Ahmad for 19. Abhishek Sharma, who scored a 16-ball fifty against Mumbai Indians in the last game, started well, hitting Rashid Khan for two sixes but he too did not last long.

Mohit Sharma dismissed him for 29 to reduce SRH to 74 for 3. Aiden Markram and Heinrich Klaasen added 34 runs for the fourth wicket and took the score past the 100-run mark before departing in quick succession. Klaasen was the first to go after being bowled by Rashid Khan for 24 before Umesh Yadav dismissed Markram for 17 to leave SRH reeling at 114 for 5.

Here are some of the reactions to the game between GT and SRH:

Image
Sri Lankan opener Pathum Nissanka scripted history as he scored his maiden ODI double ton in the first ODI against Afghanistan in Pallekele. The Lankans scored a mammoth 381/3 in 50 overs. He became the first Sri Lankan batsman to score a double century in ODI cricket. He surpassed Sanath Jayasuriya’s career-best ODI score of 189 to achieve this rare feat. He got to the landmark hitting a boundary four of Afghan pacer Fareed Malik. Nissanka finished with 210 off 139 deliveries as he hit 20 fours and 8 sixes in his innings at a strike rate of 151.07. He first added 182 runs for the first wicket with Avishka Fernando (88). Kusal Mendis the captain scored 16, Charith Asalanka an unbeaten 7 as Nissaka added another crucial stand of 120 runs with Sadeera. Every Afghanistan bowler was expensive in this match. Fareed Malik and Mohammad Nabi were the only two bowlers to pick up wickets. Every bowler barring Nabi conceded runs at an excess of seven runs per over. Malik went for 79 runs off h...

“It’s MS Dhoni show” – CSK fans happy despite defeat to DC as India legend shines with excellent cameo

Image
In the 13th match of the Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024) , the Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals (DC) took on the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Sunday, March 31. Delhi Capitals won the toss and surprisingly elected to bat first in the match. They made two changes to their playing XI as Kuldeep Yadav, who had a niggle, and Ricky Bhui were replaced by Prithvi Shaw and Ishant Sharma. Chennai Super Kings, unsurprisingly, fielded an unchanged playing XI. Playing in his first match in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Prithvi Shaw set the stage on fire and gave a message to the DC team management. He played his natural attacking brand of cricket and was involved in a terrific partnership of 93 runs with veteran opening batsman David Warner. Shaw smashed 43 runs off 27 balls during his stay in the middle and David Warner slammed 52 runs off 25 balls. The DC openers wer...

The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai hosted the 14th match of the Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024) between the Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai Indians (MI) and Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Monday, April 1. Rajasthan Royals (RR) won the toss and as expected elected to bowl first in the match. They made one notable change to their bowling unit as Sandeep Sharma, who was unfit, made the way for Nandre Burger in the playing XI. The decision to have a go with the ball turned out to be excellent for the visiting team as the star left-arm pacer Trent Boult made the Mumbai batters dance to his tunes. Trent Boult dismissed Rohit Sharma and Naman Dhir for golden ducks on the 5th and 6th ball of the first over of the innings. MI were forced to bring in Dewald Brevis ahead of the second over as an impact player. Nandre Burger came to bowl the second over and he bowled some brilliant lines and lengths but wasn’t able to pick any wickets. Then, Trent Boult came again and dismissed Brevis ...
