In Match 23 of IPL 2023, Gujarat Titans will face Rajasthan Royals at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. GT, the defending champions, currently hold the third spot in the league standings with six points from four matches, boasting of three victories and a single defeat.
They started their campaign with a win against Chennai Super Kings in the season opener, followed by another triumph against Delhi Capitals. They then faced a narrow three-wicket loss against Kolkata Knight Riders, but bounced back with a six-wicket victory against Punjab Kings.
On the other hand, RR, last season’s runners-up, are currently sitting at the top of the table with six points from four games, including three wins and one loss. Led by Sanju Samson, RR began their campaign with a victory against Sunrisers Hyderabad, but suffered a defeat against PBKS in their next match.
Responding to this setback, they have managed to put together a two-match unbeaten run, defeating Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings. Boult strikes early once more! He bowls a length delivery that swings in on middle and leg to Saha. Saha closes his bat-face too early, resulting in a fat leading edge that goes high up in the air.
The ball attracts the attention of three fielders- point, keeper, and mid-wicket – who all rush to take the catch, with the keeper calling for it. In the process, there is a collision between two fielders, and Samson fails to gather the ball due to the chaos. Luckily for him, the ball pops up, and Boult, who was watching the commotion, seizes the opportunity and takes the catch. It was a dramatic turn of events.
