Gujarat Titans came back from nowhere to pull off a thrilling three-wicket win against Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League here on Wednesday, ending the hosts' unbeaten run in the tournament.
Sanju Samson (68 not out off 38) and Riyan Parag (76 off 48) continued their red-hot form in the competition with disdainful half-centuries as Rajasthan Royals reached 196 for three after being put into bat.
Shubman Gill (72 off 44) fought a lonely battle for the major part of the Titans' innings before Rahul Tewatia (22 off 11) and Rashid Khan pulled the rabbit out of the hat in a last-ball finish.
Speaking about the game during the post-match press conference, Rajasthan Royals all-rounder Rahul Tewatia said, "Always knew that needing 42 off the last 3 overs is just a matter of a few good hits, We just needed to play according to the situation and impact player rule has also made it easy for the batters to go and score runs quickly."
