IPL 2022, GT vs PBKS: Rahul Tewatia provides finishing touch after Shubman Gill sets up Gujarat Titans win against Punjab Kings

Shubman scores 96 and Rahul hits two sixes off last 2 balls to help Titans chase down 190Rahul Tewatia reminded Punjab Kings of the heartbreak suffered a couple of years ago against Rajasthan Royals. The southpaw, now playing for the Gujarat Titans, recreated that magic, smoking two sixes off the final two deliveries to help his side register a six-wicket win at the Brabourne Stadium on Friday.

With Gill going all guns blazing at the other end, the stage was set for young Sai to showcase his big-hitting potential as he welcomed Rahul Chahar with a cracking six over deep midwicket.
