Rahul Tewatia once again showcased his prowess in the final overs, leading Gujarat Titans to a thrilling victory over Delhi Capitals. Needing 10 runs in the last over, Tewatia smashed Mitchell Starc for a six and a four off consecutive deliveries to seal the win. Tewatia, known for his calm demeanor under pressure, credited the team’s ability to win close matches, a trend that has been consistent since 2022.
Despite falling just three runs short of a century, Jos Buttler reassured Tewatia to focus on executing the plan rather than worrying about his personal milestone. Tewatia, who was prepared for Starc’s yorker-heavy strategy in the final over, remained composed and focused on hitting the ball based on its merit.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals’ pacer Mukesh Kumar conceded that his team fell short by 10 to 15 runs on a batting-friendly pitch. He acknowledged the challenges of bowling on such a surface where any mistake in length could result in boundaries.
Overall, Tewatia’s heroics and Gujarat Titans’ ability to navigate pressure situations have been instrumental in their success in close matches, a testament to their resilience and composure under pressure.
