GT vs. CSK
LPI 2023: In the first qualifier of IPL 2023, Chennai Super Kings team is facing Gujarat Titans. In this match, Gujarat captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and decided to bowl first. But something happened in the second over of this match that surprised everyone.
Gaikwad survived even after being fired
Darshan Nalkande brought in the second over of the innings for Gujarat. Nalkande got Shubman Gill to catch Ruturaj Gaikwad on third ball. Nalkande, who was playing his first game this season, knew no limits. Gaikwad was returning to the arena when he was suddenly stopped by the referee. This happened because Nalkande’s leg was ahead of the bowling crease as he bowled the ball. The referee also gave Gaikwad a free kick without giving him a ball. This time, Gaikwad didn’t miss and hit a long six off Nalkande’s ball.
