It was a perfect game at the Wankhede Stadium where the team that put in some extra effort won the game. In a game where almost 400 runs were scored, there was also a fifer taken. There were quite a few highlights to look at but the last over show from Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan was the best one to look at multiple times.

The Gujarat Titans batting duo of Tewatia and Khan scored 22 runs off the last over to win the game for their team. While Tewatia started the firework in the last over, it was Khan who finished the proceedings with a maximum.

Rashid hit three sixes on the last four balls to win the game for his team. With 22 runs required off the last six balls, a heroic effort was needed and Khan and Tewatia stepped up. Marco Jansen, who was expensive in his first three overs, was given the responsibility to bowl the last over but the bowler could not control the nerves and ended up conceding 25 runs off the last six balls.

Jansen was welcomed with a massive six in the deep midwicket region by Rahul Tewatia. The next maximum came on the third ball of the over when Rashid brought his whippy wrists to work and nailed a straight shot. The fourth ball was a dot ball but Khan redeemed himself quickly as he hit a six in the sweeper cover region. The last nail in the coffin was put by Rashid himself as he pulled a short ball from Jansen to yield six runs and finish the proceedings.
