Kolkata Knight Riders wicketkeeper Rahmanullah Gurbaz was at his proficient best behind the sticks in the IPL 2023 clash against Punjab Kings. He grabbed hold of a top edge to remove Sam Curran off the bowling off Suyash Sharma, who picked up his first wicket of the match against Punjab Kings, and also nabbed a late cut executed by Jitesh Sharma. The hosts managed to chase down the 180-run target thanks to a quickfire fifty from skipper Nitish Rana.
Previously, Wriddhiman Saha (81 off 43) and Shubman Gill (94* off 51) sent the Lucknow Super Giants’ attack on a leather hunt, with their gigantic 142-run opening partnership setting the tone for Gujarat Titans to post a formidable 227/2. Kyle Mayers and Quinton de Kock started spiritedly in reply but clinical bowling from Gujarat Titans knocked the wind out of their sails. Mohit Sharma was the pick of the bowlers for GT, finishing with 4-29 from his four overs.
Sharp glovework done right, ft. @RGurbaz_21! 👌 👌
