MUMBAI : Rashid Khan proved leadership comes easy to him after the Afghanistan spinner led Gujarat Titans to a thrilling victory against Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
On Sunday, the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune was witness to some spectacular cricket by Gujarat Titans (GT), who defeated Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in a thriller to strengthen their position at the top of the Indian Premier League (IPL) Points Table. Thanks to blistering knocks from David Miller (94*) and Rashid Khan (40), GT fought back after losing early wickets to chase down CSK's target of 170 runs. The comeback was highly impressive and even former Team India cricketer Wasim Jaffer lauded GT in his own unique style.
Gujarat Titans beat Chennai Super Kings in a thrilling contest on Sunday in the Indian Premier League (IPL) to remain on the top of the points table. Set a target of 170 thanks to Ruturaj Gaikwad's half-century, GT were in big trouble at 87/5 in the 13th over, but David Miller's fantastic unbeaten 94 and a quickfire 45 from stand-in skipper Rashid Khan saw them over the line. Earlier in the day, Umran Malik's brilliant final over helped SunRisers Hyderabad bowl Punjab Kings out for 151 before an all-round effort from their batters saw them comfortably register a 7-wicket win.
South Africa's David Miller on Sunday said coming in to bat early made him "shine" as his unbeaten 94 led Gujarat Titans to a thrilling three-wicket IPL victory over holders Chennai Super Kings.
South Africa's David Miller smashed an unbeaten 94 to lead Gujarat Titans to a thrilling three-wicket victory over holders Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League on Sunday. Chasing 170 for victory, Gujarat slipped to 48-4. But Miller put on an attacking 70-run sixth stand with Afghanistan's Rashid Khan (40) and propelled his team to their target with one ball to spare in the second match of the day in Pune. Rashid, an ace leg-spinner who stood in as captain in place of injured Hardik Pandya, smashed three sixes and a four off Chris Jordan in a 25-run 18th over.
David Miller blazed away to a 51-ball 94 as Gujarat Titans pulled off an incredible come-from-behind three-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings in the IPL here on Sunday. Leading the side in the absence of an injured Hardik Pandya, Rashid Khan supported Miller with a 21-ball 40 as GT recovered from 16 for three, and then 48 for four, to seal one the greatest comebacks in the history of the league. GT were set a target of 170. Needing 48 in 18 balls after an excellent 17th over by Dwayne Bravo, Rashid, inspired by Miller's monster sixes, hit Chris Jordan for three of his own maximums. GT collected 25 runs from the over to reduce the equation to a gettable 23 from 12 balls.
Table-toppers Gujarat Titans (GT) face a struggling Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their next Indian Premier League (IPL) encounter. CSK are looking to make a resurgence, having won their first match of the season by beating Royal Challengers Bangalore, and will look to continue their upward curve after losing their first four matches of the season, but GT are on a roll, winning four of their five matches so far. They have put in good overall team performances, but there may be focus on Vijay Shankar, who flopped after returning from injury and replacing the young B Sai Sudharshan in the playing XI. Sai Sudharshan looked promising in his few appearances, while Shankar has not impressed when he has played.
