At other times, he would have thrown the first ball out of bounds. It would end the game. But he couldn’t run on Chahal’s first two balls Thursday night. Lokesh struck Rahul on the third ball. Rahul couldn’t run on the fourth ball. Rahul ran after shoving the fifth ball onto the deck. Gayle (53 of 45 balls) broke goalkeeper AB de Villiers before reaching the crease. Punjab and Bangalore, both teams scored 161 runs at the time. If there is no run on the last ball, the game will go super over. Previously, the Delhi-Punjab match was played in a super final.

He returned to the field on Thursday after so many days. I had to go to the hospital for stomach problems during the tournament. On the other hand, his team lost 6 out of 6 matches and their backs were against the wall. Gail had to endure this pain from off the field. That day, he left his favorite opening spot to young Mayank Agarwal and Lokesh Rahul. This time the hitters of these two starters are talking about the tournament. So he went down to the unusual number three. Punjab’s streak was 7 to one.
After several months, when he came down to bat in a competitive game, he didn’t budge from the start. The bat does not go to the ball line. Instinctive timing takes a long time to recover. He did only 6 runs of 14 balls at a time. Which is inconsistent with his character. Finally, at 13, he got back on track. Washington hit two sixes in beautiful overs. Whoever started his car no longer obeyed the signal. Show the bat with 50 runs of 36 balls in the dig. The word “boss” flashed on the bat. He proved once again that he is the boss. He got half a century in the opener, scored 93 runs with Rahul and put the Punjab on the road to victory.
He regained his confidence before moving on to the next matches. That is what the Caribbean legend wanted. Before entering the field, he reported in a video message, “The wait is over. We are now at the bottom of the points list. We have seven more games left. I think I have the ability to win the rest of the games. I urge everyone in the team to be confident in their abilities. We can still turn around. “
Punjab may have changed the day of victory in Sharjah. Gayle went with the message, this time it will take more the storm in the tournament.
