It was set for another brilliant end to the game. LSG were pushed to the backfoot and needed 12 off the final 6 balls. However, the home team had 7 wickets in hand and the half-centurion Rahul in the middle. But Mohit bowled exceptionally well. 

Ball 1 – On the first ball, he nailed a yorker as Rahul hit it down the ground and took 2 runs.

Ball 2- On the next ball, Mohit pitched it short and slower to deceive Rahul, who handed a catch to deep square-leg fielder Jayant Yadav.

Ball 3 – With Stoinis facing the third ball, the bowler bowled another slower short ball to outfox the hitter as Stoinis holed it to long on.

Ball 4 – LSG needed 10 off 3 balls and Deepak Hooda and Ayush Badoni were in the middle. However, Mohit bowled another yorker, which was kept out by Hooda and the batters went for two runs but Badoni got run out.

Ball 5 – On the next ball, Mohit nailed another yorker, and this time Hooda played it to deep mid-wicket for two runs to get run out.

Ball 6 – 8 runs were needed off the final ball and Mohit bowled another slower fuller ball as it beat Ravi Bishnoi and GT won by 7 runs.
