IPL 2023: Bowler also did not want to take DRS, Hardik bowed down in front of Saha’s stubbornness and Gujarat got wicket

Mohali:Wriddhiman Saha of Gujarat Titans is one of the most experienced wicketkeepers playing in IPL 2023. Apart from getting Gujarat off to a brisk start, he also does wonders behind the wicket. After the retirement of Mahendra Singh Dhoni (MS Dhoni), he was the leading wicket-keeper of Team India in Tests. But last year he was dropped from the team. Even after this, Saha is continuously doing wonders in IPL.

Persuaded the captain for DRS

In the 18th match of IPL, Gujarat Titans are facing Punjab Kings. Mohit Sharma bowled the 13th over for Gujarat. Jitesh Sharma got caught on the second ball of the over. The ball went into the hands of the wicket-keeper while dodging him. Saha appealed vehemently. But all the players around including the bowler were calm. Saha was absolutely sure that the ball had hit Jitesh’s bat. He insisted on DRS from captain Hardik Pandya. No one supported him but Saha started pressurizing him to take DRS.

Hardik Pandya also had to accept the demand of his most senior player. There is 15 seconds to take DRS. Going at the last moment, Hardik pointed for the review. Replay clearly showed that the ball hit Jitesh Sharma’s bat. Umpire changed his decision Punjab got the fourth blow.

Gujarat’s target of 154 runs

Gujarat Titans bowled brilliantly in this match and stopped Punjab Kings for 153 runs. Punjab, who came out to play first, got a big blow in the form of Prabhasirman Singh in the very first over.
