Watch: Ian Bishop's Commentary On Tewatia's Match-Winning 4 Is Pure Gold

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 produced another nail-biting contest as the defending champions Gujarat Titans secured a 6-wicket victory over Punjab Kings on the penultimate ball of the match. It was the 'Ice Man' Rahul Tewatia who scored the match-winning boundary for his side when 4 runs were required from the final two balls. While the moment was understandably heroic, Ian Bishop's commentary on the occasion worked as icing on the cake.

Rahul Tewatia has developed a habit of producing match-winning performances against Punjab. Last season, Guajrat needed 12 runs from the final two balls to win the match against the same opponents. Tewatia slammed two consecutive sixes to wrap up the chase for his side.

Though the task wasn't as big this time, Tewatia was there to take his team across the line.

Seeing Tewatia score the match-winning boundary, Bishop said on commentary: "The Ice Man, Rahul Tewatia does it again. One of the most magnificent finishers in the game in the IPL in recent times".

Seeing another match ending in a close-knit encounter, Gujarat Titans skipper Hardik Pandya said after the match that he would appreciate it if his team's matches didn't end the way they have been ending in the last couple of games.

"To be very honest I would not appreciate the game going this deep. There was definitely a lot for us to learn from this game. That's the beauty of sports, it's never over till it's over. We need to go back to the drawing board. They bowled really well. Luckily all our batters are in good nick. We should take risks and play shots in the middle overs, need to make sure the game doesn't go so deep.

"The ball was getting dried up, but the wicket was a belter. Wasn't surprised when Mohit and Alzarri were bowling. He has done a lot of hard work, he has shown patience and his time has come [on Mohit]. It would have been a tough pill to swallow if the game had gone the other side. I would like to finish the game earlier, not a big fan of taking it to the last over," he said after the match.

With the win, Gujarat have gone third in the points table.

Skipper Ashleigh Gardner starred with both bat and ball, leading Gujarat Giants to a comprehensive six-wicket win over UP Warriorz in their Women's Premier League match in Vadodara on Sunday. Gardner (2/39) claimed two wickets and then scored a stylish 32-ball 52, her second consecutive fifty, as Gujarat registered their first win of the third edition of the tournament, following a loss in the opening game to Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Opting to bowl, Gujarat produced a clinical effort with young spinner Priya Mishra returning impressive figures of 4-0-25-3. Skipper Gardner, Deandra Dottin (2/34), and Kashvee Gautam (1/15) also played key roles in restricting UPW to 143 for nine. Chasing 144 to win, the Giants were reduced to 22 for 2 with opener Beth Mooney and Dayalan Hemalata back in the pavilion after UPW introduced spin at both ends.

'Not Taught About Sambhaji': Ex-Cricketer's 'Aurangzeb' Remarks Start Debate

The Vicky Kaushal-starrer movie 'Chhaava', based on the life and times of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj - the second ruler of the Maratha Confederacy and son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, has received positive response from audience across the country. Apart from Vicky Kaushal as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, Rashmika Mandanna (as Yesubai Bhonsale), Akshaye Khanna (as Aurangzeb), Ashutosh Rana (as Hambirrao Mohite), Diana Penty (as Zinat-un-Nissa Begum) and Divya Dutta (as Soyarabai) play prominent roles in the movie.   Former India cricket team star Aakash Chopra also liked the movie. He, however, raised some questions after watching the film.  "Watched Chhaava today. Incredible tale of bravery, selflessness and the sense of duty.  Genuine question—why were we not taught about Chattrapati Sambhaji Maharaj at all in school? Not even a mention anywhere!!!  We did learn though how Akbar was a great and fair emperor, and even have a very prominent road called Auran...
