4 GT bowlers have taken 93 wickets. No other team’s top 4 bowlers have taken so many wickets. Such a privilege to have such good bowlers on your team, it makes captain’s job so much easier. Back-to-back finals for GT👏

Another example of Never Give Up – Mohit Sharma. Was not in contention in recent seasons and a net bowler for GT last season. But in just 13 matches, 24 wickets this season is a championship performance. Top 3 wicket takers all from Gujarat and they so deserve to make it to the final.… pic.twitter.com/cJ6VxMMSZu

Final – CSK vs GT— Kausthub Gudipati (@kaustats) May 26, 2023
Namo Namo against Mohit Sharma who comes in late and scalps 5 wickets in just 3 three overs. Too many game winners in one camp. GT is undoubtedly the most balanced squad in IPL this season and they have shown why. #MIvsGT #IPL2023 pic.twitter.com/ltQfOHUc91
