Twitter reacts as Rashid Khan tears up Gujarat Lions' batting lineup

04/09/2017

Gujarat Lions' batting collapsed as Rashid Khan removed Mccullum, Raina and Finch quickly and in the process became the 1st bowler to pick 3 wickets in an innings by trapping them in front of the wicket. Gujarat's bowling line-up couldn't stop Warner and co. and succumbed to their 2nd IPL loss.

After winning their first game against RCB, Hyderabad named an unchanged squad for their match against Gujarat Lions. After suffering a disastrous defeat at the hands of Kolkata, Gujarat made two changes bringing in Basil Thampi and Tejas Baroka to strengthen their bowling attack. Winning the toss, David Warner opted to bowl first but Raina claimed that he would have chosen to bat owing to the fact that the heat would dry up the surface later on in the day.

Brief scores : Gujarat Lions 135/7 ( Dwyane Smith 37, Jason Roy 31; Rashid Khan 3/19, Bhuvneshwar Kumar 2/21) beat Sunrisers Hyderabad 140/1 (David Warner 76*, Moises Henriques 52*; Praveen Kumar 1/16) by 9 wickets.

We are baffled as well!

Proof for Nehraji not aging!

When A Nehra made his debut for India, Rashid Khan was 5 months and 5 days old and now both are playing in the same team in IPL. #SRHvGL
