Gujarat Titans. What a team.
They just do not accept that a match is lost.
And then find a way to win it.

8th win for Gujarat Titans in #IPL2022 – What a crazy run chase again lead by Ice man Tewatia.
— Johns. (@CricCrazyJohns) April 30, 2022
Tewatia, absolutely brilliant. What stands apart for him is his judgement and pre meditation while finishing. After he hit Hazlewood for a six over fine leg, he anticipated the next ball to be fuller and outside off as a matter of compensation by the bowler, and he was upto it.

Tewatia has to be a part of the Indian finishing crew. He's done it way too many times. @gujarat_titans with another clinical performance. #GTvsRCB
— ??????? ?? (@Jaideep_18) April 30, 2022
I don’t understand why RCB chose to bat first despite winning the toss? If anything, it’s established that GT gives amazing finishes. ? Looks like the only real way to defeat GT is by letting them bat first.
