The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 produced another nail-biting contest as the defending champions Gujarat Titans secured a 6-wicket victory over Punjab Kings on the penultimate ball of the match.

It was the 'Ice Man' Rahul Tewatia who scored the match-winning boundary for his side when 4 runs were required from the final two balls.

While the moment was understandably heroic, Ian Bishop's commentary on the occasion worked as icing on the cake. Rahul Tewatia has developed a habit of producing match-winning performances against Punjab.

Last season, Guajrat needed 12 runs from the final two balls to win the match against the same opponents. Tewatia slammed two consecutive sixes to wrap up the chase for his side.
