Mohit Sharma: Bit of excitement, but was nervous. Last year, I was playing after a long time coming back from surgery. Lot of people did not know if I was playing competitive cricket or not. Ashish Nehra called me up and asked me to stay with the team. I thought what will I do at home. I was involved with cricket and I think that time was perfect for me. [Being a net bowler] It's all about thinking. Net bowler is not a bad thing, you get a lot of exposure. All net bowlers do the same things as the main bowlers. We enjoyed a lot as we were with the team.

9.28pm Right, so Punjab Kings finish on 153 for 8. Some great bowling from Gujarat Titans. Only five bowlers used and they made sure to do the job for the team. Every bowled picked a wicket at least, while Mohit Sharma, on return to IPL, was the most economical. He picked up 2 for 18 off his four overs and broke Punjab's back in the middle phase. Shami was a bit expensive but the rest of the bowler made up. Matt Short got a start but could not carry on, while Rajapaksa, Curran and Jitesh Sharma, all struggled to get going. A 9-ball 22 from Shahrukh Khan got the Kings over the 150-mark. Will it be enough? Join Abhimanyu in a bit to find out.

Little to Harpreet Brar, OUT, Oh, what a bit of work from Saha. Has he run out Brar last ball off the innings? Yes, he has. Fuller length ball outside leg stump as Brar backs away looking to flay it away. Gets a thick inside-edge with the ball going to the right of Saha, who puts in a dive to first stop the ball. He then gets up and fires in a throw, gloves on. Hits the top of the stumps and finds Dhawan short.

R Dhawan run out 1 (4m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 100.00

Little to R Dhawan, 1 run, Fuller-length ball outside off, he times it to the right of Miller, who fires in a throw at the non-striker's end. Would have been out by mile, but Miller missed.

Little to Shahrukh Khan, 1 run, OUT, Fuller and outside off, he spanks it to the right of mid-off. There is a bit of misfield and Shahrukh goes for the second. But Miller throws a flat throw to the keeper who whips off the bails in a flash and finds Shahrukh short of his crease. Never run on a misfield as they say, and that has cost PBKS a wicket.

M Shahrukh Khan run out 22 (19m 9b 1x4 2x6) SR: 244.44

Harsha : "When was the last time Mohit Sharma played IPL ? Nice to see him back " 2020 for Delhi
