The Gujarat Titans made a strong comeback against the Punjab Kings and defeated them by six wickets after losing to the Kolkata Knight Riders. Rahul Tewatia ultimately played a crucial role in helping GT move up to the third spot on the IPL points table after Shubman Gill once again produced an outstanding innings and established the tone with the bat. Mohit Sharma, a veteran bowler, particularly pleased everyone with the ball as the 34-year-old took two wickets while only allowing 18 runs to pass through his four overs.
Mohit Sharma, interestingly, participated in his final IPL game for the Delhi Capitals in 2020.
The Titans chose him in 2022 as a net bowler, but the defending champions made a bid for the pacer at the auction, giving him his first IPL contract in three years. He earned their respect by putting on a noteworthy performance, solidifying his place in the starting lineup.
In the meantime, the cricketer discussed his conversation with head coach Ashish Nehra before joining GT with the host broadcaster after the game and commented on his return to domestic cricket’s biggest spectacular.
“Making a comeback after a break caused exhilaration as well as anxiety. have interspersed domestic cricket. I played domestic last year after having back surgery. Few people were aware that I played domestic. Ashu Pa called and asked me to remain with the team. I figured it would be preferable to staying at home (about being a net bowler for GT last year) (Mujhe laga ghar baithkey bhi kya karunga). A net bowler is not necessarily a bad thing. increases your exposure greatly. Speaking to Murali Kartik, Mohit Sharma said, “The atmosphere at GT is fantastic.
Notably, despite their batters’ subpar performance, the home team scored 153 runs when batting first. While the bowlers did a superb job of keeping Punjab in the game up until the penultimate delivery, Rahul Tewatia ultimately led the team to defeat. Next, Gujarat will host the Rajasthan Royals, and Punjab will play the Lucknow Super Giants.
