In a crucial turn of events at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Mohit Sharma has once again showcased his prowess as a wicket-taking bowler, sending Sikandar Raza packing with a well-executed delivery.
With Gujarat Titans having set a daunting total of 200 runs for Punjab Kings to chase, the pressure was on the latter to produce a formidable batting display. However, at 118/5, the Punjab Kings find themselves in a precarious position, needing nothing short of a miracle to secure victory.

Mohit Sharma's impact was immediate as he delivered a seam-up delivery with precision, tempting Raza to go for a big shot. Raza, attempting to clear the long-on boundary, ended up edging the ball, providing a simple catch for the wicketkeeper, Saha.

With Raza's departure, the Punjab Kings' hopes of a successful chase have taken a severe blow. As they continue their uphill battle to reach the target set by Gujarat Titans, the pressure mounts on the remaining batsmen to step up and deliver a match-winning performance.
