Rashid Khan's four off the last ball, Gujarat gave Rajasthan their first taste of defeat

Teammates rush to congratulate Rashid Khan after beating Gujarat Titans Teammates rush to congratulate Rashid Khan after beating Gujarat TitansBCCI Kumar Sangakkara looked quite excited. The coach of Rajasthan Royals was sitting in the dugout urging the team players to bowl fast. The reason is conceivable. Sangakkara realized early on that Rajasthan was going to be punished due to the slow over rate. In the end, that's it. Rajasthan were 5 minutes behind schedule before Abesh Khan came to bowl in the last over. As punishment, Abesh had to bowl with only 4 fielders outside the 30 yard circle. And Rashid Khan took full advantage of this advantage. The Afghan star hit backward point for four with the last ball finding a gap in the offside area. With that, Gujarat Titans got their third win of this year's IPL and gave Rajasthan their first taste of defeat. After losing the toss at the Sai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, Rajasthan scored 196 runs for 3 wickets in fifties by skipper Sanju Samson and Ryan Parag. Gujarat chased down the target with 3 wickets in hand. GujaratAFP has won all these four of Rashid Khan However, even after captain Shubman Gill's 44-ball 72-run innings in pursuit of the target, Gujarat was in danger of losing. To win, 86 in the last 6 overs and 35 in the last 2 overs had to be matched. Standing on the foundation built by Gill, Shah Rukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia and Rashid's 'cameos' managed to overcome such a difficult equation as the team became champions in their first season in 2022. Despite this loss, however, Rajasthan remained at the top of the points list, Gujarat came up to sixth. Rashid took the wicket of Jos Buttler with just 18 runs in 4 overs before scoring 24 unbeaten runs off 11 balls in this run-festival match. He also became the man of the match by showing all-round skills. Shubman GilBCCI became the youngest player to reach the milestone of 3000 runs in IPL Gill set a great record on the team's winning night. He is now the youngest in IPL history to reach the milestone of 3000 runs. He broke Virat Kohli's record. Kohli scored 3000 runs in 26 years and 186 days, Gill scored in 24 years and 215 days. By dismissing Gill in the 16th over, Yuzvendra Chahal overtook Mostafizur Rahman, who topped the list of highest wicket takers in this year's IPL. Rajasthan leg spinner now has 10 wickets, Mustafiz 9. As a result, the Bangladeshi pacer of Chennai Super Kings has to keep the 'Purple Cap' open for the time being. However, Chahal had to leave the field with the bitter taste of defeat even though he surpassed Mustafiz in wicket hunting.
