Tushar Deshpande’s flop show
It seems impact player Tushar Deshpande does not impacted at all for the Chennai Super Kings in the final over of the second innings. In 3.2 overs Deshpande gave away 51 runs and picked up just one wicket, with an economy rate of 15.30.
Deshpande came with the last over of the innings and in the very first ball of the 19th over, he delivered wide ball. In the second ball of the over Rahul Tewatia walked across the stumps and smashed a fuller delivery of Tushar Deshpande for a six to wide of long-off.
Rashid Khan’s storm with bat
Rashid Khan faced first ball and smoked it for a six over cow corner. GT needed 12 in 8 balls. Then Rashid gone for another shot as he smashed next delivery for boundary. With some firework from Rashid’s bat GT required 8 runs in an over.
1 over to go, 8 runs to win for @gujarat_titans!
Will @ChennaiIPL hold their nerve to pull a win 🤔
