Rashid Khan power-hitting gives GT thrilling win

KABUL (Pajhwok): Afghan all-round performer Rashid Khan secured an exciting win for his Indian Premier League (IPL) team Gujarat Titans through his superb power hitting in the late overs on Wednesday night.

The duo of Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan broke the SRH hearts with an incredible 59-run stand off just 24 deliveries, as Titans clinched their seventh win of the season.

GT were reeling at 140/5 in 16 overs in a 196-run chase but Rashid (31*) joined Rahul Tewatia (40*) to turn the match on its head and the pair hit four sixes between them to score the 22 runs required from the final over and win by five wickets.
