Medium pacer Mohit denoted his rebound with figures of 2/18 as holders GT confined PBKS to 153 for eight. Playing in his most memorable game in the association beginning around 2020.
Mohit was excellent in the penultimate over, offering just six runs. At the point when their chance to bat came, Gill drove the way with his fine 50 years as GT finished the pursuit of 154 in 19.5 overs.
Four days subsequent to experiencing a tragic misfortune to Kolkata Knight Riders. Mohit has also played for the Indian team, including in the World Cup.

Short made his way in at number three. He got the game started with a boundary and a through point. Short pulled the experienced India seamer through the square leg region on the next short ball for a fourth four.
Joshua Little, who shared the new ball with Shami, was greeted by the fit Shikhar Dhawan with two boundaries.
