Yuzvendra Chahal to Shubman Gill
FOUR! Two in two for Shubman Gill! Chahal drops it short and outside off, Shubman Gill anticipates the bowler to drag his length and waits in the crease. Slaps it wide of point and beats the man in the deep to his left for four more runs. Just the start to the over Gujarat needed, can they make it a big one?

Yuzvendra Chahal to Shubman Gill
OUT! STUMPED! Yuzvendra Chahal fights back in grand style! Outfoxes the Gujarat skipper and this is a big blow to Gujarat. Chahal stays over the wicket and offers flight, on a fuller length but keeps it away from the batter. Bowls it near the tramline on off. Gill premeditates and advances down the track. He gets beaten in the flight and fails to get to the pitch of the ball. He reaches out to put bat to ball but it spins away to go past the bat and Sanju Samson does the rest. It is called a wide but it will not matter much to Rajasthan as they get the prized scalp of Gill. The Gujarat skipper is distraught as he trudges off.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Shahrukh Khan
A loud shout for LBW but this looks to be going down leg. Sanju Samson walks up to Chahal and takes the review with a couple of seconds left on the timer. This was pushed through by Chahal, on a nagging length, on middle and leg, Shahrukh Khan was unsure whether to play it off the back foot or the front foot. The ball skids through to go past the inside edge and pings Shahrukh on the flap of the back pad. The ball rolls off the pads to short fine leg and they cross. There is nothing on UltraEdge but the impact is umpire's call and the ball was going down leg on Ball Tracking. Rajasthan have now lost both their reviews.

Ravichandran Ashwin to Shahrukh Khan
FOUR! Ashwin errs in line and these are easy pickings for Shahrukh Khan! Strays on the pads, full in length, Shahrukh Khan helps the ball away to the left of short fine leg for a boundary. The 150 comes up for Gujarat and the pressure is now on Ashwin to finish the over well.

Ravichandran Ashwin to Shahrukh Khan

Ravichandran Ashwin to Rahul Tewatia
FOUR! Excellent use of the feet. 17 runs off the over, just the over Gujarat were after. Ashwin switches to around the wicket and lands it full, outside off, Rahul Tewatia shimmies down the track and goes inside out. Hits it well over extra cover for four more runs. We are in for an exciting end to this game with Gujarat needing 42 runs from 18 balls.

Avesh Khan to Shahrukh Khan
OUT! Given LBW! A huge shout and up goes the finger! It looks dead straight but Shahrukh Khan has decided to send it upstairs. It looks more in hope than anything else. A low full-toss by Avesh, honing in at the stumps, Shahrukh Khan shuffles across a bit and goes for a heave across the line. He fails to get any bat on it and the ball pings him low on the front pad. There is nothing on UltraEdge. It is three reds on Ball Tracking and Shahrukh will have to make the long walk back. Avesh has started the over well, a wicket and just the 2 runs off it, but can he close out the over well?

Top stuff! Brilliant effort at the long on fence by Jos Buttler, saving three runs for his side. Avesh takes pace and goes into the wicket, around off, Rashid Khan hangs back and flat bats it down towards long on. It goes flat towards Jos Buttler who reacts quickly and dives to his left. The ball comes as a half-volley to him but Buttler does exceptionally well to keep it down to just a single.

Kuldeep Sen to Rashid Khan
A direct hit and it would have been curtains for Rahul Tewatia. Kuldeep Sen goes full and straight, at the stumps, Rashid Khan clears his front leg to hoist it across the line. Gets an inside edge that goes through his legs and it goes straight to short fine leg. Tewatia had given up but Avesh failed to hit the stumps at the batting end. A single taken.

Kuldeep Sen to Rahul Tewatia
Kuldeep rolls his fingers over the ball and bowls it on a good length, outside off, Rahul Tewatia mistimes his pull to deep mid-wicket and will have to be content with just a single. Gujarat need to find the fence at least twice in this over, if not on all three balls.

Kuldeep Sen to Rashid Khan
FOUR! Would you believe it? Kuldeep Sen has overstepped and the siren goes off for a NO BALL. Kuldeep goes searching for the yorker but ends up dishing a low full toss, outside off, Rashid Khan clears his front leg and carves it over extra cover. Free Hit to follow now. Can Rashid make the most of it?

Kuldeep Sen to Rashid Khan
Taken at deep square leg but it will not count as it was a Free Hit. Kuldeep bangs it on a shortish length, over off and middle, Rashid Khan tries to take on the short ball but gets a top edge that is taken by Shubham Dubey running in from deep square leg. The batters cross for a couple of runs.

Kuldeep Sen to Rashid Khan
Leg bye! Well bowled! Sees the batter make room and follows him, Rashid Khan moves to the leg side and has a swipe across the line. It comes off the thigh pad and they cross as the ball rolls on the leg side. Big delivery coming up. Gujarat need to find the fence and get the runs needed under 15.

Kuldeep Sen to Rahul Tewatia
FOUR! Tewatia clears the in-field and he gets the reward. It almost went the distance for a maximum there and that leaves Gujarat needing 15 runs off the last over. Slower and on a back of a length, around off, Rahul Tewatia picks the change of pace and lofts it up and over mid off for a boundary.

Avesh Khan to Rashid Khan
FOUR! A boundary off the first ball and Rajasthan are under the pump now. Avesh Khan almost nails the yorker. It comes out as a low-full toss, on off and middle, Rashid Khan stays low to make the connection and heaves it to the left of square leg and picks up a boundary. 11 neeed off 5 now for Gujarat..
19.2

Avesh Khan to Rashid Khan
They come back for the second and the equation is now 9 off 4. Full and straight, angling in, on middle and leg, Rashid Khan slogs it off the inner half of the bat wide of deep mid-wicket for a couple of runs.
19.3

Avesh Khan to Rashid Khan
FOUR! Not where he intended but it does not matter one bit. Gujarat will take it any which way they come. The balance of power firmly in Gujarat's favour now, needing 5 runs off three balls. On a fullish length, outside off, Rashid Khan tries to squeeze it out on the off side. Gets it off the toe-end of the bat and it goes past the right glove of the diving Sanju Samson for a boundary.

Avesh Khan to Rashid Khan
A few inches to the left or right and it would have been a boundary for Gujarat. Avesh sees the batter make room and follows him with a fullish delivery, Rashid Khan drills it straight into the hands of extra cover and he feels that he missed out there. 4 needed off 2 now.
19.5
W
Avesh Khan to Rahul Tewatia
OUT! RUN OUT! More drama! They had to go for the third run and Rahul Tewatia has sacrificed his wicket for the team here. Gujarat get 2 off the penultimate ball though which leaves them needing 2 off the last ball. Avesh Khan goes into the wicket and it is off-pace as well, around off, Rahul Tewatia waits on it and slaps it over mid off. He does not get enough bat on it to find the fence. Jos Buttler gives it a good chase and pulls it back. He is quick to release the throw at the bowling end and Avesh does the rest to catch Tewatia well short of his crease. The third umpire wants to check for a short run at the bowling end but Tewatia is fine on that count.

Avesh Khan to Rashid Khan
FOUR! Rashid Khan has done it for Gujarat! He sees his side home on the last ball! The fortress has been breached and Rashid has his arms aloft in celebration. Coming to the ball, not the best of deliveries from Avesh Khan as this is short and wide on off, Rashid Khan gets his front leg out of the way and frees his arms to slap it up and over point for a boundary to take Gujarat over the line. Joy on the faces of the players of Gujarat as they come charging onto the park to greet the man of the moment, Rashid Khan. Gujarat win by 3 wickets!
