Three consecutive games where 200+ scores have been successfully defended now. A sense of normalcy returning to the IPL. This was a clinical performance from the hosts, they made the most of the early movement and got rid of Nitish Rana and Jaiswal. Riyan Parag sizzled with a couple of sixes, while Samson was finding his groove as well. However, impact sub Khejroliya got rid of Parag, and Jurel was out cheaply as well. Rashid Khan was back near his best as he troubled the batters with his nippy leg breaks and googlies. He ended up picking two wickets, making this GT bowling line-up even more intimidating. Shimron Hetmyer fought hard from one end after Samson was out a few shy of his fifty, but the asking rate was always too much. Prasidh Krishna returned to pick up two wickets, getting rid of Hetmyer as well. A comfortable win for Gujarat in the end who have now won four on the trot. Stick around for the presentations.
