Daniel Sams has bowled a sensational last over against Rahul Tewatia, David Miller, and Rashid Khan, and tricked them with a series of slow cutters to help Mumbai Indians register their second win on the trot. It’s also the second consecutive loss for Gujarat Titans. The result doesn’t change anything on the points table – Gujarat Titans remain on the top and Mumbai Indians at the bottom. But the five-run win has helped them remain afloat for a while and be hopeful for what looks like an impossible shot at the playoffs. As of now, they would be happy to stop Gujarat Titans from winning another last-over thriller and return to winning matches from lost positions.

Game-Changing Moments By Rashid
After a run of five successive triumphs, Gujarat Titans now have two losses on the brio against brigades that are placed in the nethermost half of the table. However, Mumbai Indians teased them till the end before snatching a thrilling palm, If Punjab Kings devastated the Gujrat Titans.
Rashid was asked if such a defeat could lead to dubieties within the camp.” Surely,” the vice-captain started.”We finished 4-5 matches after being in the same situation where we got the runs demanded. It’s the nature of T20 cricket that you can get 20 off six and on days you can not indeed get 10 off six.

On a personal front, Rashid has 11 wickets so far in as many matches and is the third-highest wicket-taker for the side behind Mohammed Shami and Lockie Ferguson. It isn’t a surprise given most teams prefer to play Rashid out than attack him. The legspinner has managed to control his economy rate and stressed that he isn’t too worried about the lack of wickets as long as other bowlers are getting them.
“While bowling in T20s, it’s always great to take wickets. For me, it’s a little bit different. I always focus on the economy, I focus that I need to bowl well. For me, if I bowl economically, that puts pressure on the batters. We expect the wickets to come from the other end,” he pointed out. “Yes, compared to other IPL seasons, I’ve got fewer wickets this year but it’s not a lot. It’s a difference of 2-3 wickets. It’s a matter of 3-4 wickets. In a couple of games, I haven’t bowled as well as I could have but that’s T20 cricket. There is so much for you to learn and I am just trying to do well.”
Mumbai Indians defeated Gujrat Titans: Titans are still on top of the points table because their dominant run has given them some wiggle room. But should the two losses worry the team? To some extent, it should and to some extent, it shouldn’t. Titans have eight wins and have allowed themselves some breathing space but a string of losses could potentially threaten their top-two finish, with Lucknow Super Giants and Rajasthan Royals also in the chase.
