Arshdeep Singh steams in from over the wicket and errs in line as he drifts onto the pads, full in length, Rahul Tewatia lets the ball come to him and glances it away off his pads down to the fine leg fence for a boundary. Gujarat win by 3 wickets with five balls to spare.

The ball brushes the back boot and crashes into the stumps.
