That's all we've got from this game. An exciting day (and night of cricket) finally culminates. We'll be back tomorrow for the game between Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians. See you there, stay tuned to CricTracker. Goodnight!
Sai Kishore is the Player of the Match
Just trying to give my 120% to my team, playing after 20-25 days, so just wanted to go there and enjoy myself and give my everything. Ashish Nehra has created a beautiful environment where we can be fearless and play for the team. He told me to enjoy myself and gave me a lot of freedom. Instinctively I felt into the wicket and just change of pace was the way to go here, it worked out beautifully. Credit to everyone who showed up today. Rahul played an amazing knock once again. Rashid and Noor bowled beautifully, complete team effort.
Winning skipper, Shubman Gill interacts after the toss
Would have liked to finish it earlier, good to get those two points. (Captaincy) It's been very exciting for me to be able to take up this role. Except the over-rate, everything good. When I am out there batting, I want to play as a batter. He (Livingstone) was trying to rush me there but the ball that I got out, I would have made that decision even without that bit.
Losing skipper, Sam Curran spoke after the game
[10-15 short?] Yeah. The effort with the ball was incredible, the fight from the team was amazing. Wasn't meant to be again. They've got some world-class spinners and Sai Kishore bowled really well. I thought we got up to a decent score but they got over the line in the end. Anything above 160-165 would have been tough. I thought the way we bowled we gave ourselves a chance. We lost wickets in clusters. Know what we need to do know, can't lose many more games.

BOUNDARY, GT Win
Rahul Tewatia hits the winning runs for the Titans, and they're back to winning ways.

WICKET
Shahrukh Khan is out bowled by Harshal Patel, who gets his second wicket of the day.
Just five needed
GT need 5 runs in 12 balls, as Rabada's 18th over went for plenty.
Take that, Rabada
Shahrukh smashes Rabada for a huge six to pull the ball in GT's court.
Welcome over for GT
Rahul Tewatia smashes 13 runs off the over. GT need 25 from three overs, and Tewatia will be on strike for the next over.
PBKS review
Reverse sweep attempted. Ball hits the pad and gets appealed at. PBKS go up, and the TV replay suggests the same as the on-field umpire. So the decision will sustain and Rahul Tewatia will continue to bat.
16 overs done
GT need 38 runs to win in 24 balls. SRK and Rahul are at the crease. Naam Toh Suna Hi Hoga!
RECAP - Sai Sudharsan's dismissal

Ahead of challenging Gujarat Titans (GT) in their next match at Mullanpur on April 21, the hosts will have to improve that aspect of the game, to return back to the winning ways. They have been heavily dependent on Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma and if that doesn’t change, PBKS may end up once again failing to qualify for the playoffs.
With the ball, Arshdeep Singh has done well while Harshal Patel needs to be more consistent. Harpreet Brar meanwhile has impressed with his performance but senior pacer Kagiso Rabada needs to improve as he is a key part of the project.
When it comes to Gujarat, they haven’t been the same ever since Hardik Pandya left to join Mumbai Indians. Their top order, in the form of Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan, have done well but the middle order batters have failed to do justice. David Miller, who recently made his return from injury, will have to take more responsibility to help GT get back into winning ways, especially after a thumping defeat at the hands of Delhi in the last match.
Probable Playing XI of PBKS and GT:
Punjab Kings - Rilee Rossouw, Prabhsimran Singh, Sam Curran (c), Jitesh Sharma (wk), Liam Livingstone, Shashank Singh, Ashutosh Sharma, Harpreet Brar, Harshal Patel, Kagiso Rabada, Arshdeep Singh
Gujarat Titans - Shubman Gill (c), Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Kane Williamson, Sai Sudharsan, David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Shahrukh Khan, Rashid Khan, Sai Kishore, Spencer Johnson, Sandeep Warrier. Impact Sub: Mohit Sharma
