3. Rahmanullah Gurbaz 81 vs Gujarat Titans (Match 39)
Coming in as a replacement for an injured Jason Roy, Rahmanullah Gurbaz played a swashbuckling innings against defending champion Gujarat Titans at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. In an innings where others struggled to find boundaries, Gurbaz was middling everything. He spared no GT bowler. From launching two biggies against Hardik to taking Rashid Khan to the cleaners.
Although, in the middle, things slowed down a bit. But Gurbaz kept on hitting boundaries and attacked Rashid Khan, the main threat to KKR. Although, later Gurbaz got out to his national teammate Noor Ahmad. But by then, the damage was already done.
His 39 ball 81 carnage saw five fours and seven maximums. Except for him and Russell, other batters struggled for momentum. They both contributed over 60% of KKR's total runs. Though KKR lost the match, Gurbaz's heroics was appreciated.
