TOI.in / Apr 14, 2023, 00.55 AM IST

Gujarat Titans defeated Punjab Kings by 6 wickets in Mohali, thanks to a classy half-century by opener Shubman Gill. Gill scored 67 runs off 49 balls, which included a six and seven fours, as Gujarat chased down the below-par target of 154 runs in 19.5 overs. The team got off to a quick start, putting up 48 runs for the opening wicket inside 5 overs. Kagiso Rabada gave Punjab the first breakthrough, removing Wriddhiman Saha for 30 runs off 19 balls. Gill and Sai Sudharsan then steadied the run chase with a 41-run partnership before the latter fell to pacer Arshdeep Singh. Although Harpreet Brar removed Gujarat skipper Hardik Pandya for 8 runs in the 15th over, Gill stood tall and guided his team to victory.Earlier, Gujarat had restricted Punjab to 153/8, thanks to pacer Mohit Sharma's excellent figures of 2/18 on his return to the IPL. Matthew Short top-scored for Punjab with a 24-ball 36, but it was Shahrukh Khan's nine-ball 22 that helped the team cross the 150 mark. Punjab lost opener Prabhsimran Singh for a duck in the second ball of the match to pacer Mohammed Shami. Joshua Little then dismissed the dangerous Shikhar Dhawan for 8 runs in the fourth over. Rashid Khan took the wicket of Short with a googly when Punjab's score was at 55/3 in the seventh over, which jolted the team. Jitesh Sharma was then sent back by Mohit, making the situation even trickier for Punjab.In the end, Gujarat's disciplined bowling performance and Gill's impressive knock helped the team secure the victory over Punjab. Kagiso Rabada also reached a milestone by taking his 100th IPL wicket when he removed Wriddhiman Saha.
