We're back! The Rajasthan players have gathered near the boundary line. They have the momentum at the moment and will aim to take it into their bowling innings. The huddle is over and now they are spreading on the field. Shubman Gill and Wriddhiman Saha are the openers for Gujarat.
... CHASE TIME ...
Right then, it's a commanding total on the board and Gujarat will have to bat really well on this tricky surface. Someone from their top three will have to play a Jos Buttler kind of a knock. The ticket to the finale is on the line and let's hope for a humdinger in the second segment. Stay tuned...
Devdutt Padikkal (28 off 20 balls) says that they have got a really good score on the board and adds that the pitch does not matter in this kind of match. He is aware that Gujarat will come hard at them. Tells that they were trying to take the game deep and there were no such plans to attack from just one end. Shares that Jos knew that he can take the game deep. Mentions that the pitch is a bit two-paced and the performance of the Rajasthan spinners will be the key. Tells that he has not touched the ground and has no idea about the dew.
Earlier, after the early fall of a wicket, Sanju Samson walked in with intent and started to treat everyone with some dazzling shots. Sanju Samson's sublime knock concealed the struggle of Buttler, although the Englishman had started his innings with a few glorious drives. When Sanju was at the crease, runs were flowing and it was raining boundaries. His departure though sucked all the momentum from Rajasthan's innings. Buttler didn't get going in the middle overs, and Devdutt Padikkal also fell after a promising start. Credit to Rashid Khan for his economical four overs that helped Gujarat in gaining the upper hand but the same kind of control from the other end was absent.
What a turnaround in the end overs from Jos Buttler! He struggled for most parts of his knock but got his touch back when it mattered the most. Interestingly, Jos was 43 off 39 balls when Hardik Pandya slipped while attempting the catch to dismiss Buttler, and the Englishman went on to score 46 runs off the next 17 balls he faced. There were plenty of mistimed shots and edges and a dropped catch as well but it was Jos Buttler's evening and his knock has propelled Rajasthan to a very competitive score.
19.6 overs (2 Runs) So couple to end the innings! A length ball, on off. Ashwin goes back and pulls it towards deep mid-wicket and comes back for the second run. Rajasthan finish with 188/6 after 20 overs!
Trent Boult is in next.
19.6 overs (1 Run) OUT! Another run out! Yash Dayal delivers it full but way wide outside off, Ravichandran Ashwin leaves it alone. Riyan Parag comes steaming in to steal a bye but Ashwin is not going anywhere. Meanwhile, Wriddhiman Saha throws the ball to the bowler, who does the rest. Parag is unhappy as he returns. What a dramatic finish to this innings!
Free Hit coming and the new batter, Ravichandran Ashwin will take it...
