The much-anticipated match between Gujarat Giants and Lucknow Super Giants promised to be an intense battle, given that both teams had been performing well in the tournament so far.
However, it was Wriddhiman Saha who stole the show with an impressive innings that brought back memories of his heroics from the IPL 2014 final.
Saha, who had scored a century in the summit clash nine years ago, produced another magnificent knock on Sunday, smashing 81 runs from 43 balls before getting dismissed by Avesh Khan.
His innings included ten boundaries and four maximums, showcasing his fluent strokeplay that impressed everyone, even the opposition bowlers. Avesh himself appreciated Saha’s performance by patting him on the back after his dismissal.
This heartwarming gesture by Avesh was also appreciated by Twitter users, who praised him for congratulating Saha on his excellent performance.
