In a nail-biting finish, Gujarat Titans clinched a 3-wicket victory, chasing a revised target of 147 in 19 overs under the DLS method, with Rahul Tewatia’s composure proving pivotal. Mumbai Indians, batting first, posted 155/8 in 20 overs, driven by Will Jacks’ explosive 53 off 35 balls and Suryakumar Yadav’s 35 off 24. Gerald Coetzee’s tight bowling (2-0-10-1) and Sai Kishore’s two wickets kept Mumbai’s total in check. Rain interruptions forced a shortened chase for Gujarat Titans, who started cautiously, reaching 29/1 in the powerplay.

Shubman Gill anchored the innings with a steady 43 off 46, while Jos Buttler’s 30 off 27 provided momentum. However, wickets tumbled, including Gill’s dismissal at 113/3, leaving the middle order under pressure. Enter Rahul Tewatia, whose unbeaten 11 off 8 balls was a masterclass in clutch finishing. With 21 runs needed off the final two overs, Tewatia’s calm presence, alongside Gerald Coetzee’s quick 12 off 6, kept Gujarat in the hunt. Despite rain halting play again at 132/6 in 18 overs, Tewatia held his nerve in the tense final over bowled by Deepak Chahar. His calculated aggression, including a crucial boundary, sealed the chase with no balls to spare.

KKR, chasing 199, struggled from the start. GT’s bowlers, led by Rashid Khan and Prasidh Krishna with two wickets each, kept the pressure on. KKR lost Rahmanullah Gurbaz early for 1, and despite Ajinkya Rahane’s fighting 50 off 36, their middle order crumbled. Venkatesh Iyer’s lack of intent, scoring 14 off 19, drew criticism, as KKR managed only 159/8, falling 39 runs short. GT’s disciplined bowling and sharp fielding, including two stumpings by Jos Buttler, ensured KKR’s batting collapse. Gill’s low-risk, high-reward approach, combined with Sudharsan’s support, highlighted GT’s batting depth.
