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.
Indian Premier League against Gujarat Titans (GT) on Sunday, a disappointed Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) skipper Ravindra Jadeja said they started brilliantly but his team failed to "execute plans" to win in the last five overs of the match. David Miller's unbeaten half-century and Rashid Khan's cameo helped Gujarat beat Chennai by three wickets here at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium here on Sunday. "We started brilliantly. First six overs were good as a bowling unit, but credit goes to Miller, played some good cricket shots. When we were batting, the wicket was gripping and the ball was holding, so we thought 169 was a par score," said Jadeja at the post-match presentation.
David Miller and stand-in captain Rashid Khan rode over Chennai Super Kings’ midas touch and stole victory under the nose of hall of famers MS Dhoni, captain Ravindra Jadeja and MVP Dwayne Bravo. Playing without Hardik Pandya (groin trouble), table-toppers Gujarat chased CSK’s 169 with three wickets and a ball to spare in an IPL game at Gahunje stadium here on Sunday night.
Gujarat Titans (GT) to an unbelievable win with his explosive knock, David Miller on Sunday said Rashid Khan's batting in the 18th over turned the Indian Premier League (IPL) game against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in his team's favour. Miller smashed an unbeaten 51-ball 94, while stand-in skipper Rashid hit 40 in 21 deliveries to script GT's incredible win after they were reeling at 48 for four in the eighth over. Needing 48 in the last three overs, Rashid smashed Chris Jordan for three sixes and a four to collect 25 runs and bring the equation down to 23 from 12 balls.
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.
