Unadkat to Rashid Khan, out Caught&Bowled!! Short ball, outside off, Rashid Khan looks to flat bat it and gets a massive top-edge. The bowler ran back to take it. That was banged in short, Rashid Khan looked to power it but only shot it up. The bowler ran back and took it. Third wicket off the over for Unadkat and SRH end on a good note here. Rashid Khan c and b Unadkat 0(1)
19.5
W
Unadkat to Rahul Tewatia, out Caught by Aniket Verma at deep backward point!! Superb catch! Outstanding from Verma. That was a length delivery wide outside off and Rahul Tewatia looked to hit that but sliced it. The man from point ran a little, dived and took it with a dive. Rahul Tewatia goes after hitting a six. Has been the case so often with him. Gets a couple of balls at the maximum. Rahul Tewatia c Aniket Verma b Unadkat 6(3) [6s-1]
19.3
6
Unadkat to Rahul Tewatia, SIX, sits down, gets hold of the delivery down leg and laps it fine over fine leg. That was superb from Tewatia and he gets off the mark with a sixer off the first ball
19.2
W
Unadkat to Washington Sundar, out Caught by Nitish Reddy!! And gone. Low full toss, the batter looked to slog sweep and got it off the higher part of the bat. The ball never scaled much distance. The ball went too high and was an easy catch for the man at deep mid. Sundar would be gutted with this knock. Never looked good. Washington Sundar c Nitish Reddy b Unadkat 21(16) [6s-1]
19.1
6
Unadkat to Washington Sundar, SIX, short ball, sits up and this time Sundar gets stuck into that to send it over deep mid. That was hit with a lot of power. He used his long handle well over there

Cummins to Shahrukh Khan, SIX, into the pitch but doesn't matter as GT's SRK powers it over wide long-on. That was well timed as these shots aaren't easy with the ball being dug into the deck. Shahrukh Khan gets off the mark with a sixer
18.4
W
Cummins to Buttler, out Caught by Abhishek Sharma!! Shovelled down to the man at long-on. Was a very full and wide ball, Buttler sat down low to play it down the ground and found the man at long-on. The batter got too close to the ball to get the elevation. He hit it flat and the shot lacked power to be caught at long-on. Cummins gets his first wicket. That was an excellent delivery as Buttler was thinking of a scoop but was too and too wide. Buttler was forced to hit it down the ground and failed to clear the man at long-on. Buttler c Abhishek Sharma b Cummins 64(37) [4s-3 6s-4]

Harshal Patel to Buttler, SIX, slower one, outside off, 119.7 kph, no pace on it but Buttler slams it over long-on. That was a mighty blow from the former England skipper. That was in the slot and he went at it with all his power. Towering blow to end the over
17.4

Harshal Patel to Buttler, FOUR, fuller length delivery, very wide, Buttler bludgeoned wide of the man at mid-off. That was in the slot and Buttler powered it into the gap
17
F
Zeeshan Ansari to Buttler, FOUR, another fifty for Buttler! He has been imperious. Was a flatter one, Buttler sat down and reverse lapped it wide of the man at short third man for a four. He has to carry on like this if GT are looking to breach the 220 mark. Has gotten this fifty off 31 balls
16.2

Zeeshan Ansari to Buttler, SIX, wow! Back foot punch over long-on. His weight was on the back foot and he had to generate power and he did so with aplomb. That flew well over long-on. That was skiddy from Zeeshan Ansari but didn't matter to Buttler
15.4
4
Cummins to Buttler, FOUR, flat-batted! Four. Superb timing. No pace on that short ball, angled in, Buttler held back and spanked the pull past the man at long-on for a four. That was hit into the gap. Very well placed indeed
14.4
Unadkat to Washington Sundar, wide, banged in short, wide outside off, Washington Sundar hops up and lets it go to the keeper. SRH have reviewed the call here. They think it is not a wide. The umpire called it a wide. Was over the head of the batter felt the square leg umpire. They are currently showing the wrong delivery to the third umpire. So, we will wait a little. SRH get some time to regroup. They have just gotten the wicket of Gill. Gill was looking in pristine form and was hitting the gaps at will. The dismissal was controversial, that's for some time later. SRH lose the review and the call of wide stays
13.1
Kamindu Mendis to Buttler, 1 run, turns the ball down to long-on for a single

Zeeshan Ansari to Buttler, out Shubman Gill Run Out!! Quick and flat, Buttler looks to turn it into the leg-side and gets an inside edge towards short fine leg. The throw comes to the keeper's end. Gill is definitely short of his ground but is it the ball dislodging the bails or the keeper's glove? The TV umpire takes his time. It's touch and go. He is looking at it frame by frame. It looks like the ball is very close to the stumps. There's a clear deviation of the ball after passing the stumps. Tough call and Michael Gough makes the right call. Klaasen got a glove on it as he tried to deflect it onto the stumps. His hand was close to the stumps as well and that's why the TV umpire took his time to make the call. Big wicket! Shubman Gill run out (Harshal Patel/Klaasen) 76(38) [4s-10 6s-2]
12.4

Zeeshan Ansari to Shubman Gill, FOUR, too full on middle and leg, Gill whips it away between long-on and deep midwicket. Unadkat dives from long-on and should have stopped it, doesn't and it's another boundary for Gill
11.5
Harshal Patel to Buttler, 1 run, in the air and dropped! Pat Cummins is the culprit and the Ahmedabad crowd enjoys it. Harshal Patel deceives Buttler with a slower ball. On seeing the length on the fuller side, Buttler swings his bat hard to go downtown. The bat turns at the point of impact and the ball goes a long way in the air off the bottom part of the bat. Cummins moves to his left and backpedals from mid-off and fails to even get a hand on it. Not an easy chance but Cummins won't be happy with that effort
11.2
4
Harshal Patel to Shubman Gill, FOUR, 132.7kph, full and angling in on middle, Gill stylishly flicks it through midwicket to find the gap between long-on and deep midwicket. Fifty partnership
11
4
Kamindu Mendis to Shubman Gill, FOUR, 97kph, not a half-tracker, but Gill slightly bends his back leg and hammer the pull between long-on and deep midwicket. One bounce and into the fence
10.3
4
Kamindu Mendis to Shubman Gill, FOUR, lovely! Loopy delivery, Shubman Gill shimmies down the track and makes room to elevate it inside-out. Doesn't over-hit and relies on timing to bisect the two fielders (long-off and deep cover) in the deep
9.5
F
Shami to Shubman Gill, FOUR, fifty for captain Gill! His 25th in IPL. Jogs down the pitch, converts the full ball into a half-volley, moves leg-side to access the off-side and squeeze-drives it through extra cover. Three fifties in a row, fifth this season
9.3
6
Shami to Buttler, SIX, wow! 137.8kph, length ball marginally outside off, Buttler shuffles across and superbly scoops it over fine leg. Right off the middle of the bat
9.1
4
Shami to Shubman Gill, FOUR, full outside off, Gill shapes to hoick it across the line and drags it over midwicket. Abhishek sprints across from long-on, dives and flicks it back into play with his right hand. And then, he tries to push it away with his left hand. At that point, his right leg/pant may have made contact with the boundary rope. The TV umpire rules it as a boundary
8.2
Zeeshan Ansari to Buttler, 1 run, full, quick and flat on leg, worked into the midwicket pocket
8.1
6
Zeeshan Ansari to Buttler, SIX, tossed up and overpitched, Buttler gets under it by staying leg-side of the ball and bludgeons it straight down the ground for an 89m towering six
7.5
Cummins to Buttler, no run, 137.4kph, with mid-off up, Cummins bowls a full delivery, Buttler drives hard and almost chips it to the fielder. Unadkat, at mid-off, gets low early and that doesn't allow him to take the catch. He bends forward and takes it on the half-volley
6.5
W
Zeeshan Ansari to Sai Sudharsan, out Caught by Klaasen!! Zeeshan Ansari strikes! SRH badly needed this wicket. Quick googly wide of off, Sai Sudharsan spots it and goes back to late-dab it. Almost off the bat-face and Klaasen - the keeper - doesn't err. Sudharsan misses his 6th fifty of this season by a couple of runs. Sai Sudharsan c Klaasen b Zeeshan Ansari 48(23) [4s-9]
5.2

Unadkat to Shubman Gill, FOUR, slower ball into the wicket, Gill pulls it square of the short fine leg fielder. Shami gives the chase from short fine, there's another fielder running across from deep square leg but they can't stop the boundary
5.1
4
Unadkat to Shubman Gill, FOUR, Unadkat comes back and concedes a boundary. Trademark Shubman Gill shot. Short of length, Gill spots the length early, waits for it and short-arm-jabs it through midwicket. Beautiful timing
5
4
Harshal Patel to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, another big over! Hip-high short of a good length ball at 118.9kph, Sai Sudharsan swivels across and pulls it square of the man at 45. 18 runs off the over
4.5
4
Harshal Patel to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, hit-me ball and Sai Sudharsan pounces. A juicy full toss and Sai Sudharsan heaves it away over midwicket for a one-bounce four
4.4
4
Harshal Patel to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, misfield and four! Harshal Patel isn't happy. Length ball outside off, it's the cutter, Sai Sudharsan waits and late-cuts it between short third man and backward point. The fielder at short third man slides to his left and makes a mess of it
4.1
4
Harshal Patel to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, it's raining boundaries here in Ahmedabad! From round the wicket, Harshal starts with an overpitched delivery and Sai Sudharsan plays a glorious on-drive. No need to run for that as the timing is spot-on
4
6
Cummins to Shubman Gill, SIX, fifty up for GT in the fourth over! An authoritative hit from the GT captain. Full and in the slot from Cummins, Gill shuffles across a bit and brings his bottom hand into play to whip it high and over deep midwicket. 17 runs off the over
3.2
4
Cummins to Shubman Gill, FOUR, Cummins doles out a wide half-volley. Gill leans forward and batters it between mid-off and cover. Poses for the photographs as well!
3.1
4
Cummins to Shubman Gill, FOUR, Gill greets Cummins with a boundary! Full delivery outside off, no movement in the air. A big stride forward from the GT captain to drive it firmly through extra cover
3
4
Shami to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, five fours = 20 runs off the over! 136.1kph, harmless short ball and Sai Sudharsan pulls hard behind square on the leg-side. Two fielders in the deep on the leg-side but Sudharsan finds the gap
2.5
4
Shami to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, wow! This is smart bowling. Deep backward point came in. So, Sai Sudharsan waits for this length ball and opens the bat-face to expertly steer it between short third man and backward point. The man at short third man dives to his left but in vain
2.4
4
Shami to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, Shami over-corrects his line and strays this onto the pads. Easy pickings for Sai Sudharsan who flicks it away to fine leg for his third boundary in four deliveries
2.3
4
Shami to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, second boundary for Sai Sudharsan! Shami pulls his length back and serves ample width outside off. The batter stands tall and scythes fiercely through point. The man in the deep dives to his but to no avail
2.1
4
Shami to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, first boundary for Sai Sudharsan! Seam-up ball, not so short. The left-hander picks the length early and hammers the pull through midwicket
0.3
6
Shami to Shubman Gill, SIX, big roar from the crowd! Full and straying onto the pads, hint of inswing as well, Gill brings his wrists into play to flick it aerially over backward square leg for a 69m six
