In the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match on Sunday, Umesh Yadav kept his calm and took two wickets in the final over of the match to guide the Gujarat Titans to a brilliant victory over the Mumbai Indians. With 19 runs needed in the final over, skipper Hardik Pandya slammed a six and a four off the first two balls to hand his team the advantage. However, he ended up losing his wicket on the third delivery, and his team fell short by just six runs. It was the first victory in the IPL for Gill as a skipper, and right after the match, Hardik walked up to the young batter and congratulated him with a hug on the momentous occasion.
An inexplicable batting strategy by the Mumbai Indians at the death saw Shubman Gill make an auspicious debut as Gujarat Titans captain with a thrilling six-run victory in their opening IPL game.
MI ended at 162 runs at the loss of nine wickets as things went downhill when all they needed was 43 runs off the last five overs with seven wickets in hand.
