In a video posted by Gujarat Titans from their official ‘X’ account formerly known as Twitter, Rahul Tewatia was seen interacting with Ricky Ponting and his son Fletcher. The GT finisher asked Ponting jr if he is a proper batter or an all-rounder to which Fletcher responded that he is a pace-bowling all-rounder.
After this Ponting asks his son to bowl a couple of balls to Rahul and show him how fast he is. Then Rahul plays a couple of balls with Fletcher and defends them well. The clip is now going viral all across the social space. Fans are loving this little interaction between the Indian star and Ponting's son.
Capitals up for a Titan challenge
Both sides are up for a crucial clash. It is important for both teams to get as many points and wins as possible as IPL 2024 is entering its second phase. The race to playoffs will only get more interesting from here on. Currently, Gujarat is in the 6th spot in the points table and a win here will take their tally up to 8 points same as the teams above in the top four.
On the other hand, Delhi is currently stuck at the 9th spot in the points table and a win here can put them as high as the 6th spot or even the 5th if the win margin is mammoth. Both teams will try to put on their best show and get those crucial 2 points.
