For the second time in as many games, Sudharsan was out hit-wicket, ending a mammoth partnership that had taken GT closer to a spot in the final. It was a low full toss from Brijesh, which Sudharsan sliced away to the fence, but while completing the shot he lost the grip of his bat again and this time, it landed directly onto the stumps. This was the third time he was out hit-wicket in the IPL, joint most alongside Andre Russell and Shoaib Malik in T20 cricket. GT, meanwhile, were on track, needing 48 off 43.
